[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks for the advice. Which SLACs seem like a good fit? We are full pay but would like to keep COA around $50k/year. [/quote]

Consider Denison (beautiful new arts center), Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan.[/quote]

Our kid has shockingly similar interests, and I agree with many of the SLACs mentioned already.  I'd add Macalester too if you go out to St. Olaf, though it might be more of a reach so merit aid might be hard to come by.  I'd also add Kalamazoo and Wooster too because they tend to give more merit aid to get it down to the 50k level or lower (total COA offered for our kid at both was around 40k after merit aid--Oberlin only offered 10k merit).  Wooster has a dance program open to non-majors in its theater major. Kalamazoo has strong studio arts open to non-majors but doesn't have dance  but students have easy access classes and performance opportunities at Western Michigan University which has a  strong dance program and is located right next door.  Also, Kalamazoo's psychology and environmental science programs are both very strong.  Both schools participate in the New York Arts Program too if she wanted to delve in deeper to the arts for a term.

The Minnesota schools though are out of driving range. Kalamazoo is a 9-10  hour drive.  It has an airport though.  Wooster is about a 6 hour drive and is more rural.  A lot of kids with similar interests also like Juniata which is closer and offers merit aid, it just didn't happen to click with our kid for whatever reason.[/quote]
