OP, sort by which have the best programs for the fields your kid wants to study--sounds obvious, I know, but often on this forum, parents think only about "prestige" or location, without much regard for the actual quality of potential major programs. I say that first, to narrow your field, then: Visit. In-person visits really might be your best way to differentiate effectively among colleges in similar regions/of similar sizes/with similar vibes etc. Source: Our own experience. [b]Visited three colleges[/b] (none on your specific list) which were all similar on paper, and visiting made a huge, huge difference. [b]One felt very much like a high school[/b], one was more isolated than anything about its marketing would lead you to believe, and the third was just what DC was looking for. Narrow it but then visit the top contenders. DC would never have felt that "fit" if not for visiting in person. [/quote]

Can you name the LAC that felt like a high-school ? TIA

This is a common experience, but would help to know which one you found.[/quote]
