Uconn, PennState or Binghamton ?

UConn definitely has the school spirit, but if you are the type that the school spirit thing gets old, you have nothing else, it’s in the middle of nowhere I hear. I have friends whose kids are there - one is graduating and said she loved UConn but if she could do it again would choose a school near a city. As for weather, another friend’s son asked for a full face ski mask for Christmas. It gets so cold and the way the buildings are set up, the wind just whips through the campus. That can be rough when you’re trying to get around such a big campus (but he loves it there).

My D is deciding between Binghamton, UConn, and Mary Washington in Va. Haven’t seen UConn yet, going Tuesday, and just saw Ithaca College again and it lit some sparks of interest - further complicating the decision process!

Bottom line, I think all 3 schools that you are considering will set you up for a great future. You just have to take advanyage of the opportunies.

Good luck to us all!
