Thanks for the ideas so far. As to location, he is a suburban kid who loves the outdoors (when its not winter). Green urban, like Vanderbilt is fine with him. Even Worcester was ok with him when we looked at Clarke. But an urban school located in an area like IIT, where you need good luck and street smarts to stay safe is more questionable.

As to the middle of nowhere, it depends. Rural, inaccessible and hours from a city, especially with a harsh winter like Michigan Tech, is an absolute no. But rural on the coast like St. Mary’s of Maryland would be a dream for him if they had engineering.

And while he doesn’t love winter, he would happily deal with a New England winter to attend Olin.
