Five/six years ago when we were looking, Eckerd ended up at the top of our list… This was due to their fantastic program that definitely is noted elsewhere (like with Hollings Scholars and pretty much everyone working in the field who we contacted), their having their facilities right on campus - literally roll out of bed and walk to the labs/classes vs getting into a van and driving elsewhere, and no grad students doing the “fun stuff” as my lad put it. Undergrad students did it all. YMMV

FWIW, we eliminated schools that were only good for Marine Bio/Science - places like Galveston. So many change their minds… as did my lad. He did not have to change schools - nor did he want to.

Make sure the school has other things you like, is affordable, then visit to see how the vibe fits.
