I think we’re down to U of R, Pitt, and Denison. They would prefer to study CogSci but are ok doing Neuro+ Psych as they plan to go grad school.

They can really see the value of the smaller community and SLAC value from Denison but wondered about the Neuro Concentration option there (number of kids in it, credibility when apply to grad school, etc.). They know Columbus is only 25 minutes but are a little nervous by the size of Granville.

Pitt has the bigger city feel they really want and U of R has CogSci, the flex curriculum, and then perception of a nerdier overall student body. The weather would suck but they are not that concerned.

Really interested in any families out who kids is longer for a science degree with intentions to go to grad school and is comparing pro/cons SLAC vs Large State U vs Mid Size Stem Private.

No obvious right answer in their head.

Planning to make the red-eye for admitted student date at U of R next week. Already have visited Pitt and Denison.

Any families out there with a similar quandary?
