What's a good school for a rather shy girl who is interested in Biology/Environmental Science?
Good average student; SAT around 1400 |

| OP, I hope you are not the same person who asked about coed dorms. If so, please give your daughter more credit. |

OP again -- and I went to a school with coed dorms and coed bathrooms and I don't think my daughter would have any problem with that as long as the kids were friendly of course.
But I'm looking for schools for her to check out -- small, good sense of community, not cut throat competitive, known for good Biology and Env Science programs, not impossible to get into with good average stats. |

| Honestly, I'd look at Virginia Tech. It's not a small school but it's big enough to have something for everyone - shy introverts included. |

| My super quiet DD loved UDel. Lots of kids like her on the honors tour we took. |

| St. Mary's College of Maryland. Small school in southern MD, on the river. Not far from DC area. Sounds like she could get merit aid. |

+1 Environmental Sciences and Biology are strong there. Undergrads get to do actual research with professors. Beautiful campus. Small, caring community. |

| Have you looked at the CTCL schools? They're all sooo nurturing . . . |

I was also going to mention Allegheny. Small school, not competitive and they seem to have lots of activities for their students to get involved in. |
