What are the Merit Money "best value" schools for a STEM student

@DemonDad That was my only concern as well but it is well-known in the tri-state region and thats where I initially want to work. Anytime after that, employment is based on experience so it wont matter too much long term. Say if he wants to get hired outside the region as soon as he graduates that may cause problems but most people stay close and save up a bit after graduation anyway. I also looked into Temple and Marist a bit. The campus at TCNJ blows away Temple’s broad street and TCNJ is much more selective than marist.
