[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are immigrant parents and aren't as familiar with US colleges so it's been a real learning curve for us! Our DS is interested in pursuing a degree in International Relations or Poli Sci/Econ but all with an international context.

He was accepted into the following schools. He is very strong student, but also [b]easygoing personality with lots of playful curiosity about the world. He wants to be around other motivated students who also have other interests besides IR.[/b] He wants to pursue policy work, UN type jobs, diplomacy. Which do you think is the best offer of admission for this type of student?

Tufts 
GW 
USC
Middlebury
Occidental
American

His language is French.[/quote]

Congrats to your son, OP! Based on your description of your son, I'd suggest Tufts as #1 choice, it has the most range for what your son appears to be looking for. There's a Tufts in Talloires program in the French Alps which he can strengthen his French over the summer, and also "Tufts in Washington" semester he can do later on. Midd is a great choice too. I'd put Midd second if he's ok being in a more rural location outside a major city.

DC is of course the ideal location for IR, and for that I'd put GW ahead of American if he wants to study here.
