I was wondering how these colleges stacked up against each other in academics, prestige, and student life. note i’m not big into greek life. also i’m majoring in mathematics. i’m oos for all of them.
I think they would be ranked on academics/prestige as follows: UConn > UVM > UNH > URI. All are big enough such that greek life is available for those who want it without it dominating the school. All will be pretty expensive for an OOS student–my D applied to UVM and UNH–the net price calculator shows that UNH will be slightly cheaper than UVM. We did have URI on our list for awhile, but it ultimately came off–as I recall, my D qualified for some merit there, bringing the cost to around the same COA as UNH (just under 40K/yr). Can’t advise on the major, but some of the online sites like Niche or Parchment might be able to help there (or pick up the Fiske guide–probably available from your guidance counselor or at the library if you don’t want to buy it).
