What is a LaSallian education?

OK - if she likes Bentley (which is a very focused college) and not sure how merit is but she’s ok with a business focus - then there’s Babson too - harder to get into and to a lesser extent Bryant in RI. Does she have a sub area of interest in business?

As for internships, unless she’s planning to intern during the school year, I’d have zero concern about location. She’ll be able to find internships all over the country - school location won’t be a limiter. Obviously, for social/entertainment, then being in a city is better - so maybe a U of Denver - depending on stats, you can get $30K merit and have it in the 40s, Miami in the 50s…don’t know anything about the student or the financial needs.

As for access to internships - that will be on her moreso than the school. If she has grit and fortitude, she’ll find. If she doesn’t, she’ll struggle. It’s a different world today with many roles being found on line - indeed, linkedin, etc.

There’s also Honors colleges - so in some regards, shrinking the bigger school…at least in some aspects.

A GW but smaller and “urban” so around things is College of Charleston and depending on her grades, etc., you can do well.

Mine is a Charleston Fellow and we pay no tuition. Her merit is a bit more than tuition (OOS). And she’s in DC this Fall through the U of SC Honors College (all the state Honors college do DC through U of SC) and I just got a check for $2K more than tuition and room - so - it’s a trade off - but if you’re a top student, you can get low cost.

I personally don’t buy the entire - the school is getting most internships. It’s not reality. My son in engineering busted tail to get and he did - and many job offers from a non-rated school (Alabama) and my daughter had 7 internship opportunities this Fall in DC with 5 paid and is at a top Think Tank helping with their meeting operations and her school isn’t a highly ranked name - and she chose it…in fact, both chose safeties - after looking at all their acceptances, those are the schools they preferred over highly ranked programs.

So find the right school - and that includes location for her day to day enjoyment. But unless she wants a school year internship, location wouldn’t concern me - and if she hustles, she’ll be fine.

Good luck
