[quote=Anonymous] I'm a professor in a large research university and I would say only this: Do NOT send your DD to a large research university for her undergraduate education. I went to a southern liberal arts college. Fabulous education but did spend too much time in the Greek scene. But I had small classes, a terrific honors program, and never had a grad assistant for an instructor. (Ivies use GA instructors too, of course.) Specific institutions: Many good options have already been mentioned. If you're interested in Quaker schools, Haverford (but tough to get into) and Earlham. Guilford is third tier. Other good options mentioned less often in this thread, not too difficult in regard to admissions and excluding those in the south: Ithaca College, Emerson College in Boston (good theater program), St. Olaf College (in Northfield, MN near Carlton, I think), Reed College, Skidmore, Vassar, Bennington, Sarah Lawrence, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Amherst, et al. [/quote]
