It is an excellent school academically (Congratulations!), with very strong science and pre-med undergrad and has a good business school and several other well respected majors. Socially, the Greek system was pretty significant, though I was independent and there were still plenty of options. I don't know how much all of that has changed as I'm not sure if people still even live in fraternity houses. Otherwise, I would be happy to discuss my experience from the distant past with you if you have any questions (email provided),

thanks.... this is helpful

We are in Boston so the NE angle might hurt him if filled with NY people already. We will visit.

They definitely draw a lot of people from the Northeast

If financial aid is an issue at all, they meet 100% of need based aid and I think primarily if not entirely through grants as opposed to loans. Everything JimboIrish says is true, with the campus being in a very safe and seemingly quaint part of the City. Facilities are also very impressive and they just finished a remodel of the student activities center.
