<p>It’s hard to know why a student went to Stonehill. Maybe they got rejected from other schools they applied to and that was their only option but maybe there are other reasons that you can’t find in the data. Maybe a parent works there and they get free tuition. Maybe they got a full scholarship and it makes the most financial sense for their family. Maybe they have a sick family member and want to stay close to home. Who knows? </p>
<p>I do know of one young woman who attended one of the top BS and chose to go to a decent yet mediocre state university although she was a top student and could have easily gone to much higher ranked colleges. It was the best place to be in the country for her sport and she is world class material. Just an example of the fact that there are stories and people behind decisions that you might not realize.</p>
