This doesn’t answer your Q at all, but your comment about URI made me want to share the following.
If your D goes to a regional school, it’s much more likely that the potential employers interviewing on campus are going to be from that schools region. Does your D want to end up in RI or Boston after school? Not to say URI will be limiting at all, it’s just a Q of who are the majority of employers interviewing on-campus.
Another similar point is that college can be a great time for networking with classmates, and where will that network be? As an example, my nephew is a dentist who went to the state flagship undergrad, made a lot of friends, and works in one of the big cities in the state. They are looking into getting their own practice, and one of the positives is that they will probably have a good number of patients from their HS friends/acquaintances and college friends/acquaintances. I also know that there are a fair number of well to do families in my state who intentionally send their kids to the state flagship so they will make future business connections with their peers.
I agree with @happymomof1 about study abroad, domestic exchange, etc.
