[quote=Anonymous]I went to Beloit and loved it, got a great education and had fantastic professors. My D26 has applied to a couple of schools on this list- there are some very solid choices. Obviously, these schools aren't your T20 LACs but a notch down- and will provide great educational opportunities and often nice merit aid. They're targeting kids who aren't all gunning for the tippy-top schools, and smart kids with a wide variety of interests who are looking for either a less competitive environment or who are chasing merit aid. I'd research their retention rates, look carefully at the departmental websites and do some digging to make sure it's a good fit for your kid. Wheaton (IL) is very conservative, for example, whereas Beloit and Oberlin are more crunchy granola type kids. Clark U has had some financial issues lately, and Goucher only has a 52% 4 year graduation rate. So you need to do research on each, but there are lots of great options on the CTCL list. If you can provide a bit more info on  your DC (what they'd like to major in, what type of vibe they're looking for, rural/urban, liberal/artsy/preppy/sporty, etc.) people here can make some recommendations for which ones to check out.
