The wife and I both graduated from UCONN. We enjoyed it and we are avid fans. Raised 3 sons in a small town. School district K-12 600-700 kids.  We thought a smaller college experience would better fit their personalities. The college selection and application process was arduous to say the least.  The boys were excellent students and specialized in swimming, track, and golf. They applied to highly competitive schools and having hook was critical. Most  DIII schools offer a range of sports but if they play football, basketball, and baseball they had better be stars or the hook doesn't work. Swimming worked for them.  We visited 28 colleges between the 3 of them.  Tortious!  Let them decide. They ended up at Williams, Bowdoin, and Davidson.

One other insight. Pay NO attention to the sticker price. Look for schools with substantial endowments. They will give kids substantial discounts if they have the funds.  We felt like we were campaigning dogs during the entire process. We were SO glad when we were done.

Good luck!
