<p>Currently on a college visit road trip. D likes University of Oklahoma the best so far, but thinks it is too close to home and that the weather will be too hot. Looking for an OU clone but with more snow, I guess. Beautiful campus, nice dorms, good academics, great school spirit, under 20,000 students. Ideas?</p>
<p>Indiana, but it’s a little bigger. I never felt it was too big, though. Football not nearly as good. Miami of Ohio is popular around here, but not sure I would compare it to OU. It isn’t cheap, either.</p>
<p>Is your daughter a possible future NM[S]F?</p>
<p>The University of Nebraska - Lincoln comes to mind.</p>
<p>No, not national merit anything. Nebraska actually seems pretty perfect, but there is just no good way to get there from Dallas.</p>
<p>What are the transportation limitations?
What does your D want to study?
What is your price range?</p>
<p>KU might also be of interest, although the weather in Lawrence isn’t really that different from OKC. Colorado State is another possibility.</p>
<p>Colorado State is a good suggestion. I was pretty impressed with it the one time I was on campus.</p>
