[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider their involvement in sports/dance/orchestra a different social group than their freshman dorm. Being with like minded people is always a plus.[/quote] +1 My DD was choosing between similar tier LACs with strong environmental science programs, her top priority. But when it came down to the final choice, the band program and particularly the ability to participate in a pep band, was the tie breaker. She's loved band in HS and participating in an arts group is a great way to quickly establish a social group (choir was that for me in college). She's already received a welcome note from the band program signed by a bunch of kids in the symphony, reflecting the typical band kid sense of humor. That made her really happy. Band would not have been a reason to choose a school with a weaker program in her major but it did screen out some schools that might otherwise have been on the list. I don't have an issue with that [/quote]
