Thanks for the detailed reply!
If Fairfield is within budget, then it’s a good investment for Finance (as long as he’s got good math skills, time management, and resilience). They are especially solid for business and their finance program places well, but isn’t easy so your child would have to commit to working hard, no partying during the week even in September and managing time well with one athletic activity (recreational 100% fine) and one other club, since leadership and fitness will also be expected.
If you want to save the money but still select a solid school, Scranton. Same skills required but students would be less competitive in spirit than at Fairfield. Same activities should be scheduled.
(The difference in cost between Marist and Fairfield makes Fairfield a better investment).
I recommend “The naked roommate” BTW, for your son to read through before leaving.
