[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard great things about Kenyon.  But mostly from when I was that age.  I'm 30 now.[/quote]

It is lovely, but entry is very competitive.  And it is very pricey.   We need for her to come up with a few options that are less competitive and hopefully a public university "just in case" $$wise.

She is pretty liberal, very artsy (slightly granola/crunchy) and plans on doing a double major in classical studies and theater.[/quote]

Smith College?  or is that too weird?  Admission rate is over 40%.[/quote]

NOT weird at all!!  I had no idea that admission was so relaxed.  Plus, as I understand Smith is part of the 5 college consortium in Amherst.  DD is already talking to Hampshire and U of Mass.   THANK YOU!!  I will pass this on to her.[/quote]

I went to Smith.  So did my mom.  Once upon a time, it was a good school.  Unfortunately, it has declined so much that I don't think I would allow my daughter to go there.  I was there for my 20th reunion and pretty appalled.  There was an envelope in the bathroom where you could grap a dental dam and go.[/quote]
