[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I thought the OP was looking for a smaller school that had an atmosphere akin to a big Div 1 school.  Just because a college is in a big town with another college or two doesn't mean that the campus is a lively, "big school" type campus.  For instance, look at UMass.  It's a big, Div 1 school.  It has a vibrancy that you don't see at Amherst College.  Amherst College is in the same (college) town but it's a totally different school.  Plus, a big urban town may not be close-knit enough to support a small school's "big school" type spirit.  There are just too many citizens that are uninterested in the college to participate in those activities.  Just my .02 [/quote]

Ummm....yea....I was just trying to be helpful.  I have a DD at Meredith who had a similar bigger is better thought at first.  Now that she is there, she loves the fact that Meredith is small and intimate but that she can take advantage of NC State being right up the road.  But thanks for pointing out the shortcomings in my suggestions.

OP - Good luck and I hope you and your DC find what you both are looking for.  What about Wake Forest?  That would be perfect although it is pretty competitive. [/quote]
