St. Lawrence, Clark, Elon

DD is looking at St. Lawrence in Canton, NY, Clark U in Worcester, Mass., and Elon in NC--along with more-selective places that are reaches, and that we know more about. Any knowledge or experiences to share on these colleges? TIA.

I know a lot of people who went to Elon and I can honestly say they are the most loyal group of alumna I've ever met, which to me says a lot.

I have a DS at Clark, and he's very happy there. He really likes his classes and classmates, likes the campus and its offerings, likes being in a more urban environment than some of the other small schools he considered, likes being in New England. He wanted small classes and the opportunity to work closely with professors and has found that there.

I don't know much about St. Lawrence other than that it is in the middle of nowhere, LOL. But I know a bit about Elon and TBH I don't see that many similarities between Clark and Elon. Elon has about 6000 undergrads, is in a small Southern town, has a very active Greek life, and pays more attention to athletics. Clark has about 2300 undergrads, is in a gritty small New England city, has no Greek life and is not very sports-focused (e.g., no football team). I know happy grads from both places.
