UD has both suite style with a/c and traditional with hallway bathrooms (most don’t have a/c), traditional are closer to the action, suite style are a 15 minute walk to classes. Freshmen don’t choose their dorm but can request suite style or traditional (imho communal are nicer because they get cleaned daily, suite style are cleaned by students which can be an issue).

Op said this about UD. Many here may like it and OP said she’s been but is not interested.

My 23 year old is a UD graduate, the campus is filled with extremely happy students! Students who love the school. Dages every weekend, like most colleges it’s more difficult to get into parties for guys not in a fraternity or sports (I’ve had kids at 6 universities, same at all of them).She had a 3.95 gpa (one B) 34 act, was in honors, $17,000 a year in merit. Exercise science major, currently at BU getting her DPT (she a lot of “pre med” classes. Amtrak station right on campus.

At UVM, no communal bathrooms in either University Heights North (Honors College residence) or University Heights South (Liberal Arts Scholars Program):

S24 is in the Honors College at UVM. Your stats/ECs/APs are in the same range. The top merit award approximates instate tuition for OOS students. On-campus housing in the Honors College dorm is guaranteed for the 1st and 2nd years.

Dropped nursing yeah. Nothing wrong w/ it just not for me.
Rutgers is unfortunately too close for my liking.
As for the schools on my list I have them down because I like what I already saw and I’m going on a visit soon. Pretty simple. I would just prefer northeast and I need to consider more schools than just those.
How about UConn?
Considering it, currently on my “maybe apply” section. The thing is, a lot of people from my school currently go there, but at the same time it is a really big school. I will probably end up applying and maybe ill visit if I go to Connecticut again.
How about Colgate? Someone mentioned it to me at work and I kind of like what I see.
You may like Colgate- it is in upstate NY and there is not much up there by the school. That may or may not be ok with you.
Also- it will not meet your price point.

Run the net price calculator - no merit aid.
Ack, that sucks. Parents can definitely afford it, but we are all pretty frugal and my two little sisters (who are much less likely to get aid) are often a consideration. Thanks for letting me know, ill run NPC when I write it down.
Im a big upstate NY person. Have a house around there and I love the atmosphere. However the lack of things to do and expensive price tag are definitely things I have to take into consideration. Maybe ill go visit
But if you like Colgate, there’s tons of LACs and ton that give merit.
What did you like so much about Colgate?
You love the atmosphere of Colgate or Upstate NY?
If upstate NY, take a look at Hobart, St. Lawrence, and Hartwick, and Clarkson.

If you might not be fully dependent on the potential for merit scholarship recognition, this site may offer you a few ideas:
Please clarify this. Do you have a second home in upstate NY? If so, this will further complicate any need based aid…

What about Muhlenberg? You may get some merit. Same goes for St. Lawrence.
Are UF and UNC still on the list? Right now I would put premed on the shelf and focus on making a list.

Nevermind…with $300,000 parent income, you wouldn’t qualify for need based aid anywhere I can think of.
As I suggested earlier…put premed on the back burner for now. The reality is you can take the required courses for medical school applicants just about anywhere. So…find an affordable college that you like, where you have a great chance of acceptance. There are plenty of good choices listed above.

The University of Maine is far north (“more north the better”), it has scholarships for OOS students, and you can certainly complete premed requirements there.
There are also LACs, but they will not meet your desired cost.

The University of New Hampshire is mid-sized and has suite options. Choosing housing is done by lottery though. You can call the housing office for more info: (603) 862-2120.

Sorry should have specified. Its a bunch of houses plus a lake but it’s owned by my extended family. We, as in my parents, don’t have any legal ownership as of now
