Merit scholarships, medium size schools, science major

<p>Ucb …yes I would like her to consider university of Alabama. Do you know anything about the area surrounding the school? As far as FL state schools, they are either too big or small or set in rough areas.<br>
Bookworm… We haven’t completely ruled out university of Miami and should go see it. We live further north and are nervous about the crime, congestion, and though it may seem silly…all that sun. Our family has a history of skin cancer.<br>
Any other suggestions for schools to help develop her list? While we would prefer east coast for travel, she is open to other areas of the country provided the size of school and area around it is dynamic.</p>
