<p>Hi all - I haven’t read the entire thread and hope I’m not duplicating but I can’t say enough good about Clark University in Worcester MA My son applied there as a safety school and was accepted with extremely generous financial aid. We attended accepted students day and loved it. It seemed like it would be a good match for my S academically. They seem to have good academics and we all were very comfortable with their philosophy of finding the best fit for yourself. My S ended up being accepted at his top choice and is going there but I would have felt very good if he’d decided on Clark. I think it’s a hidden treasure.</p>
