Not wanting rural puts a lot of schools out of running.
Try visiting some - they often have a lot to do.

Northeastern has a coop program so theoretically you can earn $$$ during co-op semesters; I think it works well if you live at home during the coop time so you aren't paying room and board...it can take 5 years to graduate but you take about 3 six month coop terms (I may have gotten some of the details wrong; I'm not looking at the site). So almost like merit $$$$.

Ursinus is an excellent choice; also Goucher, Towson and McDaniel - all in suburbs of Baltimore, easily reachable by Amtrak from NE. Made for B+ kids and have lots of money to give. Check them out.

I just heard today on new that Whitworth would be adding 146 beds for housing by fall 2009. Gonzaga just got a nice amount of new housing as well. Spokane is a great City with lots to see and do close by!

consider Stonehill, Merrimack, Franklin Pierce(NH, i think) & Bryant in Rhode Island. They might offer some merit aid for B+ kids.
