Not listed so far: Kanas State University is really a gem. Happy, happy students -very welcoming. My somewhat introverted child has really had a great time his first semester. They are very strong in Animal Science --and have a veterinary school. Manhattan is a lovely little college town. 80% admission rate
I know it’s been listed but I was REALLY impressed with Miami U in Oxford Ohio – big emphasis on undergrad teaching -excellent undergrad medical (communication disorders, nursing etc.) Didn’t meet one student who wasn’t really happy with their experience. The college town is tiny but cute. 82% admission rate.
Some excellent OOS scholarships do exist – contact financial aid to discuss. ETA: They use WEIGHTED GPA to determine merit -which is really awesome if you have a kid in very demanding classes.
