If kid isn't quirky will she fit in at a liberal arts college?

I suspect the counselor is looking a somewhat conservative AA kid, who plays sports but isn't rah-rah enough to want to do it in college, who has friends in different groups, and just doesn't know what to make of her. She sounds great and should have lots of good choices once she narrows down geography, school size, etc.


Thank you! Yeah, I'm still bothered by it too and she may get a piece of my mind. I think she is totally confused by my DD. I know she wants the NE and small. She does not want all girls and would like to be somewhat close to a city. Can't wait until she can actually visit these schools. She did reach out to one of the schools and they could not have been any nicer with answering her questions and inviting her to sit in on classes in the fall.


Is Tufts too big? I'm not trying to steer her away from SLACs (I'm a big fan), but there aren't a lot of SLACs that are close to cities. Tufts might be a good alternative in that sense, so worth just taking a look.

Quirky and preppy are not mutually exclusive.
