[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family visits colleges on vacation occasionally & my daughter 
loved- Berkeley, Michigan, Oberlin
liked- Maryland, Wooster, Barnard
disliked- Stanford, American, Kenyon
hated- Columbia, NYU, GWU, Georgetown, Denison

She likes lively cities, but still wants a sense of community, and is undecided on major. We're thinking of visiting Wisconsin & Macalester. Anywhere else that is worth a visit? She's a second semester junior with around a 3.9 GPA and 1400 on the SAT. [/quote]

Did she look at Kalamazoo College when in Michigan? It's a lot like Wooster only a bit more vibrant (in a small city, near another large public u,).  It has a strong sense of community, a history of attracting some really strong students, encourages student research, internships and study abroad, and she would likely qualify for merit aid--they are fairly generous. 
Beloit and Lawrence would also be potential visits if you're in Wisconsin and St. Olaf if you also visit Macalester.  University of Iowa is another possibility if you're out that way--Iowa City is a nice college town.  It looks like her "loved" lists needs a little more realistic options for her GPA/SAT so I would focus on that.[/quote]
