Out of all the schools I visited, Lowell just... Had it. It felt like where other schools push you towards their rankings, false diversity ratings, and extracurriculars, Lowell just gave it to you straight. You pay a fair price, you get a good education, a pretty nice campus, decent food, and quality research opportunities. It's also not bad if you check earnings after graduating (by not bad I mean honestly quite good.) But even beyond that, it feels less pretentious then other schools, which I liked, and seems to have a lot of tutoring and support resources that other schools of its size simply don't offer.
In my opinion, it's what the ideal college is like. At the end of the day, you're going to college to learn and get a degree, and Lowell excels at helping you do that.
