[quote=Anonymous]We didn’t go in with criteria in mind, but they’ve developed as we’ve visited a few places.

Things DC has decided matter:
- campus size / walkability
- cohesive campus feel (modern or ivy-covered brick have been nice, but random mishmash somehow feels off-putting)
- housing options (DC would strongly prefer a suite situation with both roommates and private space)
- housing with a very social bent (lots of dorm-based activities) 
- clearly thought-out student support, like making meals, laundry and transportation as easy as possible
- having at least one advisor who sees you through the whole four years
- support for undergrad research

Really none of those were on our radar at the start, and some are hard to look up.

DC hasn’t actually cared much about the presence or absence of course requirements / core curriculum, location, or student body size, which we thought would be important going in.

See a few places, and your DC will start figuring out what matters to them. [/quote]
