The place has changed a lot since I was there -- entire business district was two blocks long, ROTC was still mandatory for the first two years, the only fast food joint was a Dairy Queen about 20 miles away, etc. -- so you couldn't get in trouble if you tried. (You could, however, drop out, me being Exhibit A in that category). Still, for a major university it's in a rather isolated location where there are not a lot of distractions and that is a bigger plus than it might sound. You are aware of the academics so no need to touch on that. Overall a really good school that hasn't gotten as much credit for its academic standards as it deserves. Can't say if it's the right place or best place for you kid, but I can say with certainly that he/she could do much worse. Of course it's possible I might be a tiny bit biased...
