[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the suggestions!  Yeah, once we saw College of Charleston (just on a whim b/c we happened to be in Charleston) I thought "uh oh - this was a mistake checking the campus out - the charm/vibe is going to be VERY hard to match"!  Hoping to keep school size relatively small (under 10-15K) that that rules out some of the state flagships (even if they happened to be walkable/charming).  Definitely going to check William & Mary out; hadn't thought of Vanderbilt before.  Also going to visit Pomona.  Stanford is on the list though of course an absolute crap shoot (I told her high stats etc get you the lottery ticket but that is about it; she does have a non-STEM unusual talent that could distinguish her a bit from all the other high stats kids but even so).[/quote]

OP, I agree the campus at CofC is lovely, but I can disabuse her quickly of the charm of going to school there.

For one thing, it's 67% female. And the 32% of males - well, let's just say she or they might not be interested. Of course there is the Citadel nearby, which is where many CofC girls end up finding their dating pool.

And, a lot of students there will not be in the same league intellectually as your daughter. They are there for the weather, the party scene and the lighter academic expectations. [/quote]
