Whatever.
Your kid will be taught be what are some of the worst professors in the public university system in the Commonwealth and will generally not like it there based on stats, including princeton review. They will be stuck in the middle of nowhere...not likely ever getting a decent intership unless a family member cooks one up...and their hobbies for the next 4 (or more likely 5) years will be binge drinking, pot smoking, and trying to score some other type of high. When they graduate, they will have little more than a piece of paper...that my HR dept will toss...since they know better.
Have a nice evening.
