+1. Kind students.

Yep. This is it. Skidmore fills the bill well. MUCH more expensive though.

Another vote for Clark.

This is the answer

Another plus one for St Mary’s, with the caveat that it is MUCH smaller.

and in the middle of nowhere with a huge drug issue.

Not sure what your trying to say or imply here; its not quirky at all. VCU is diverse, vibrant and rich.

I like quirky. VCU- emphasis on arts and medicine- gives me a quirky vibe. Plus it is in downtown Richmond.

Agreed, our W&M kid did have U Rochester as a runner-up and had also submitted to Brandeis and CMU (fit the size even if the location could not be more different). Bio major.

Brrrrr.

NP. SMCM has a drug issue?? That’s one that’s on my DC’s list so that’s concerning to hear.

It really is hard to find a comparable for W&M, esp if looking close to the DMV. Size, cost (even for OOS), rigor, vibe.
