Just gave my D the directive to name a few more places to tour - and I suggested some that everyone was kind enough to recommend in this thread.
I don’t find rankings such as USN and Forbes particularly helpful, but I like FIske a lot. During my S’s 2014 cycle, I developed my own system that worked pretty well … I started with 250ish colleges with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter (not that I think my kids are candidates), then sorted by location, size, and get-in-ability. I think that rules out UCF and USF, but I hope D is open to considering FSU, VT and Clemson.
@Gator88NE I will definitely review discussions on UF (and UGA) forums for additional info. Thanks!
