Budgeting for tuition $30-35k max a year, will be a kid from out of state, from CT, psychology major. Liberal arts interests, artistic/theatre minor might be on the cards, likes picturesque campuses, nearly straight A student about to start senior year high school. Parents both degreed/employed, federal financial aid probably not possible. Scholarships might be possible.
Going to tour University of New Hampshire on Friday. Where else should we look? Thanks.
Not interested in private colleges that charge as much as Yale and Princeton ($60k/year tuition)...large public research universities might be ok though.
UNH is a decent school for a state university. UConn is ranked higher overall and should be cheaper for a Connecticut resident, no? On the drive up (or back) to UNH, stop in at UMass-Amherst, similarly ranked to UConn.

As far as I can tell, psychology major does not qualify for the regional tuition. Also, you don't mention whether it's a son or daughter but you should be aware there are many sexual assaults on UNH campus every year that the school tries to keep out of the media. It doesn't work - word of mouth spreads faster. Just a heads up.
I don't know that any of them have especially great psych or theater programs, but many/most kids change their minds and their majors anyway. I can understand why you'd want to keep debt down if your child wants to pursue a career in those fields.
Colby-Sawyer gives a ton of merit aid to good students. One of my sons graduated in 2019 and his annual cost was less than in-state costs at Massachusetts' public colleges.
A friend from high school went to Plymouth State University for teaching (which is one of their more popular majors) and really enjoyed her time there. I also hear St. Anselm College has a very pretty campus and a friend who works in college admissions told me they have a very healthy endowment, so the aid packages are supposedly good.

Unless you have a high net worth or a high paying job, no way you are paying full price for top private colleges. Even the less prestigious ones offer good merit scholarships. They all have a net price calculator on their websites, try it out
With the couple mentions of PSU above, scream if you need any localish info as I'm in the next town over and currently use Plymouth as my grocery hub.
Plymouth is ideally located for a wide variety of outdoor activities.
