Has she considered Illinois Institue of Technology in Chicago? She would be in the running for their full tuition merit scholarships. My D is there and really likes it. We are very happy so far with the education and opportunities she is receiving. It fits most of your daughter’s criteria (I can’t in good conscience rave about the on-campus dining options, but there’s easy access to the city!). The city certainly will be a big adjustment from Hawaii, but my D, with an eye for beauty and a love of the outdoors, has found plenty to like about Chicago.
