| Brown, no question. Smart, creative community, great location, and most importantly, a blue state, so I won't be treated like a second rate citizen |

+1 I went to visit one and got a really good vibe but it was in my home city and I wanted to go away but I do sort of regret not choosing it. |
I love COA! I’d go to Smith. |
| Swarthmore or Pomona for undergrad (beautiful campuses, motivated students, and a real focus on undergrad development) and Stanford or Yale for grad school (great research opportunities in my areas of interest and not quite as cold as Massachusetts ended up being). |

Michigan. I believe I would have enjoyed strong academics PLUS had a lot more fun.
I went to Swarthmore and the student body was too intense and competitive, there was no school spirit (school pride, yes). The profs were great, though. |
| USC. |
| Fun question! Brown or Pomona come to mind immediately. W&M, Georgetown, UVA too. If I would be accepted! But that's assuming things about myself that weren't happening at the time (I was incredibly homesick, not emotionally ready for college, socially insecure). If we could have afforded it, and I had had my act together, I wish I had done junior year abroad. |
| I drove around Mt Holyoke in October many years ago and wanted to enroll right then and there. Beautiful campus in the fall! |
| Northwestern or Princeton |
| Yale all day |

We visited Rice when DD was looking. I really loved the vibe, the location, and it had a very academic feel about it. And the size is just right.
Aside from the oppressive Houston humidity, it's the perfect college. |
| UC Santa Barbara--smart, laid-back students and a gorgeous campus. |
| Duke |
Gorgeous there! |
