Chance me: MA resident, 3.7 UW GPA, 1350 SAT, engineering major, ideally <$75K

I see Boulder and Madison and I’m thinking she is looking at fun college towns. So I’d have to suggest Athens, GA and UGA. Can be a tough admit, but it’s a fun campus and town. A few people mentioned Iowa - I hear good things about Iowa City as a college town.

She’s picking a field which draws smart kids, so there is a lot of competition for the top schools. Schoolwork will be tough too, she may not want to plan to have too much fun…
