First of all, what can you afford? Are the schools offering scholarships? It makes no sense to got to Tulane at $40k per year for a low paying job in law enforcement.
Second, I would do a little research with key words like “worst colleges” and “party schools”.
Excellent advice and I actually thought to do that. The schools on our list are highly rated in their tier and considered good values by Forbes Magazine and Bloomberg.
Since I'm paying likely full boat, the school's on our list are coming out to be about $25k/year including tuition, housing and food. The exception is Lewis University which is about $30 on the tuition, but we think we can negotiate that price down due to Lewis University granting educational scholarships to applicants with high ACT scores.
Thanks for your tip -- anything we should ask about during a campus visit? I'm concerned about safety on campus even though oldest son's a 3rd degree black belt and 6'4". Never know these days what's gonna happen on college campus'.
