[quote=Anonymous]Does your DC prefer a mid-sized school? McGill is huge- my DS considered it, because he is fluent in French and the idea of using his language skills in Montreal was of interest, but the intro lecture classes with 600-800 other kids didn't appeal to him. He's at Brown in CS/Engineering right now. The other schools that have a vibe similar to Brown (at least to me, from the many tours we've done) were Oberlin- the campus felt very similar and we were impressed with everything from science offerings to the strength in music. Wesleyan U- very similar student body, lots of kids use it as a backup school if they love Brown, and Brandeis - my kid spends time up there with his club sport and says the students he interacts with are very similar to Brown students- quirky, nerdy, friendly kids. Plus it's the second smallest R1 and the science offerings are extremely strong. Case Western is also worth a look, but demonstrate interest. My DS was rejected from Case but accepted at Brown (we didn't tour/do any online info sessions at CWRU)[/quote]
