Seems like a place where a lot of connected, wealthy people go to meet others like them. The one thing everyone knows about it is that it is expensive, so if merit aid is essentially getting you a 50% discount it’s a great deal. Solid school, very pretty campus and she will probably make lots of great connections. We know kids at Union now for sports. They like it a lot and so do their parents. At the levels of aid she has earned, I’d push for a choice among Conn Colllege, Union and Holy Cross. I know a lot of Cross grads, including some among my family, and am guessing it may be worth the upcharge at the end of the day, based on a different trajectory. That alumni base is incredibly strong and loves to hire others, including in the top consulting and Wall St. businesses. School spirit and sports are pretty strong too. Syracuse continues to have an allure among high school kids that I don’t fully understand, but I think a lot of it has to do with reports of a very healthy party scene. [/QUOTE]
