[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Liberal Arts is the goal, then actually, at least according to the US News rankings, the top Southern Liberal Arts schools are Davidson and W&L (in the top 20 nationally), University of Richmond (not sure this is deep South), Sewanee (#33) and Furman (#42).

Almost all of the top liberal arts colleges are in New England, NY/PA or, for some reason, Claremont, CA.  Vandy, Duke, Tulane are all huge universities, so I guess it depends on what OP and her DC are looking for.  [/quote]

It seems we are looking for an interesting mix of C/W Music, BBQ, southern gentility, with a liberal arts program which could provide a solid foundation and a springboard to graduate school for law, journalism, or business.  Thankfully we have some time.

Married to Furman poster here.  Any of the schools noted in this list or the Vandy, Duke, etc. list would give you those things, but so would many other schools.  It depends on your DC and his (?) grades, LSAT/MCAT/etc. scores.  My FIL was one of the only ones in the family not to go to Furman.  He went to Rhodes.  He went to the same top 10-20 law school as my DH.  (Yes, they have a thing about all going to the same schools!  I fight against this for my own kids, although I actually think Furman is a great school.  I just insist the kids are going to my Yankee school, but we'll see when the time comes where THEY want to go.)[/quote]

Not a Yankees fan, but I too favor Yankee schools and Rock'n Roll.  However, DC seems dedicated to college in the deep south, C/W, and BBQ.  Seems your family has had wonderful experiences at Furman.  That's great to know b/c it never would have crossed my mind before  --  only because although I knew of Furman, I didn't know anything about it.  Your recommendation is important to me.  We are going to do some serious research about Furman.  Furman may be just right for our DC.

Thanks[/quote]
