OP: No, this is a regular state school. It is a branch of a larger university. About 1200 freshman, 4000 undergrad, another 4,000 graduate students. It is primarily a commuter school, though there is on-campus housing.

The average SAT Math score is 550 and English CR is 530. D was 710 in CR and 690 in writing. She is not sure whether she will be bored here (a bad thing) or feel comfortable with the courseload and have time to pursue all the really cool things this waterfront campus offers, like sailing (one of her passions) and the funky coffeehouses in the immediate, waterfront area.

She is not a real academic but she is very intellectual and impatient with inferior thinkers, if you know what I mean. A great mind and only an above-average work ethic.
