If selectivity/cost were no barrier,

Princeton, Yale or Williams.

For my son, Brown for undergrad and then maybe Yale for post grad.

For my daughter, Harvard and then maybe Harvard again or someplace of similar standing.

As it is, we are going to be looking seriously at McGill, University of Toronto, Montreal, Oxford and Cambridge in the uk and maybe Trinity college Dublin.

In the case of Oxford, while selectivity might be a barrier, the cost is a fraction of what it costs to attend bumblefxk state school here.

If your child's personality, interests, preferences, and abilities were no barrier, where would you want your child to go to school?

I think this is a good question. My DS would not fit in or enjoy any of the schools mentioned so far. They just wouldn't interest him.

I just glanced at a few and they don't offer the major in which he is interested. If cost were no barrier it would be great, but many of you would unfortunately laugh at the schools he is considering right now.

This. It's really about what fits the kid. My junior DD wants to go to college in the mountains and pursue a career in wildlife conservation. For her, Virginia Tech is her dream school because of the location and a very strong natural resources program. We toured Harvard while in Boston on vacation and she hated it. She'd hate to be stuck in the middle of a city.

A college that has mild weather, near a safe city, low tuition, collaborative/project based learning, not cut-throat, undergrad focused and has great food. No such place exists.

The food wasn't that great, and it depends on how big the 'city' needs to be, but otherwise this describes where I went to undergrad -- Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.
