I almost went to Butler -- my mom and most of her family went there, as well as many of my friends. I would say it seems like a safety compared to the other schools he's applying to. It was also a safety for me. They were extremely generous with financial aid for me, both need and merit-based. I decided I wanted to go to a larger school, but Butler would have cost me the same amount I paid at my state school (where I also got a great aid package).
I love that area of Indianapolis -- it's urban but still feels like a campus, if that makes sense. And the basketball program is awesome!
