[quote=Anonymous]OP, your kid sounds great. And I feel you: my neurodivergent kid struggled to read all those college profiles, and in the end seemed to get  very little out of it -- all the schools just sort of blended together in her mind until we actually visited.

In terms of schools, I'm having a bit of trouble squaring the desire for small classes and undergraduate focus with 5k+ enrollment, and your daughter's stats and interests. For larger schools, Western Washington might be a good option? PNW folks really love that school, they have a marine bio major, and Bellingham is great.  UNC-Wilmington also comes to mind.

I also suggest considering smaller LACs that are in the same community as larger universities. Kalamazoo, Hendrix, Agnes Scott would all offer that, and any of those might make good fits for your daughter. No marine bio majors, though Hendrix does have some related programming.

I've been to Eckerd if you have any questions. There's a lot to like, especially for a kid interested in marine bio/liberal arts, and St. Pete's is great, although the campus is a bit isolated. [/quote]
