<p>My brother will be applying to colleges this fall and is having trouble choosing safety schools. His grades were much better than mine so I was not sure how to help him. We live in MA and he has an A- average for high school. He would like to stay in MA, but because he has pretty good grades, I don’t know what safeties he should pick, he wants to study engineering. Can someone help?</p>
<p>What kind of engineering? What kind of cost constraints?</p>

<p>University of Massachusetts campuses in Amherst, Dartmouth, and Lowell are obvious candidates to consider, though whether they are actually safeties depends on various factors.</p>
