None of these schools were on my son’s list, they just popped up….

As offering direct admission presumably based on the stats he input, grades and test scores. He is not applying to any of them. I did look up the U AK Fairbanks school and was somewhat impressed except for its location and climate. Good news is that Fairbanks has a Costco. In any event, we are hoping for a more traditional school in a somewhat warmer climate.

SUNY Buffalo is a good school, but IMO a very ugly campus.

The phrase "can be rough" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
