[quote=Anonymous]HS junior daughter and I are in the midst of the college search and are feeling a bit overwhelmed.

I know this could change of course, but right now she is very interested in politics, public policy and women's issues, possibly majoring in political science or government with a minor in women's studies. She is looking for a school with a politically engaged students (She is very liberal so a very conservative campus would not be a good fit), with a sizeable Jewish population, and liberal arts focused. There are obviously a lot of schools that fit this description, so we are having a little trouble narrowing it down.

The government program at Georgetown interests her, but she would really rather go away for college (we live in Bethesda). She is a competitive student and will be full pay (college savings so not looking for financial or merit aid), probably will end up staying on the East Coast, but not entirely opposed to other areas of the country. She is also not opposed to women's colleges, although she isn't sure this is the direction she would like to go.

Any suggestions?

Some schools she is currently interested in:
Smith College
Barnard College
Brown University
Sarah Lawrence
Vassar

Any comments on these schools or suggestions for others would be greatly appreciated![/quote]
