Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFeel better now? Great for your kid. There literally is a school for everyone out there. Hopefully every student can find their perfect fit for academics, athletics, social aspects and finances. But it doesn't change the fact thst many larger schools are stronger for STEM programs - top professors and research. If my kid wants engineering I'd prefer they go to U Rochester over Wesleyan. If affordability is an issue, especially of grad school is in the cards, then UCONN goes to the top. I went to a smaller LAC, I get the appeal but they're pricing themselves out of the market

1. To the other guy that said for stem, he would rather his kid go to u of r. I will point out u of r is 75k a year. It is priced similar to Nescac schools. So if the cost is what people were criticizing the Nescac over, then your argument doesn’t make sense as an option.
2. Congrats on being rich as defined by the federal govt and colleges and universities. If you don’t qualify for aid, that’s what you are. I too have the same issue. However, I saved aggressively in a 529 plan receiving tax benefits in ct every year. The last 11 year bull market run left the account flush with earnings to pay the cost of a Nescac education. I would advise all of the rich people on this site to open a plan and contribute early in your child’s life. You would be amazed how the power of compounding and the tax benefits add up.

The definition of "rich" is part of the problem when it comes to the cost of college. It's even worse in for people in high cost areas.like lowerCT and other areas. Many families live relatively modestly and can afford a few kid activities and a decent vacation now and then. But they can't afford 60K a year for one kid let alone multiple. Paying outright for two kids means $500K. Pretty tough to save their way out of that. One advantage of most Ivies is their income capacity are more generous than the federal limit. Many kids are getting shut out of UCONN because more applicants are struggling for a more affordable option.

That said, I understand that Nescac isn’t for everyone and I don’t judge anyone for their decision. Tired of Others that are on this site trashing the soccer and the education. That said, I have two comments

National Universities offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master's and doctoral programs, and emphasize faculty research or award professional practice doctorates.
National Liberal Arts Colleges focus almost exclusively on undergraduate education and award at least 50% of their degrees in the arts and sciences

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postwhy would you rank coaches? Your kid's first priority should be wether or not a school is a good academic and social fit, followed by soccer fit. Your player will either like the coach/staff or not. If you're ranking team performance that's different but there's other factors that come unto play there beyond just who the coach is
