he would probably choose a big school, residential/on campus feel rather than commuter, good sports program (to go to games, he runs track and field but probably wouldn’t make a D1 team), really likes the idea of schools that prepare him for work after college (that’s one of his most often recollections to anyone asking what he likes about a specific school
One school that I mentioned for a different student seems as though it could be of interest here is U. of Cincinnati .
I’m going to recommend that you look at the U. of Cincinnati . There are about 31k undergrads here and a robust school culture around intercollegiate athletics. It has a long history of co-ops within its educational model (co-op info ). For students in their business school, students are required to complete at least two full-time equivalent co-ops (two part-time co-ops equate to one full-time co-op) (source ), and they are pretty transparent about the co-op wages and undergraduate salaries by major by sharing the low, mean, median, and high (source ). The business school has its own career services department with one-on-one coaching available. And the way its business school sets up its first-year experience helps to form strong relationships with a group of less than 20 that students then take classes with and work on projects with UC’s company partners. I think this school would be a likely admit for you
Sticker price is a little over $43k, but I suspect your son would get merit aid here if he gets his application in by November 1 (info on National Outreach Scholarship ).
