Once we set the monetary limit, we let our kids decide within that framework. The 3 schools you have listed, are all small NE schools but different in flavor. I’ve known kids successful and happy at all three. Trinity is a favorite school for those coming out of independent schools and is an outstanding LAC. Beautiful campus. Yes, Hartford is a rough go, but that is the case of a number of schools’ areas. Johns Hopkins, UCHicago, Columbia all have this issue and Marist being in Poughkepsie is not exactly an upscale city either. Check on what the incidents of students being endangered at all of the locations. SOmetimes those numbers can be surprising. I agree with Mini on his comments about where most of the dangers to college kids lie.
