Food options for kid with dietary needs should be one of your top priorities. There’s so much to adjust to freshman year already.

And eating meals with others is an important way to build friendship and even just have some companionship. If you can’t eat in the main dining halls but everyone else can, loneliness can become a huge issue.[/quote]

You get it, it is a huge factor in so many ways - health, socialization, peace of mind knowing don’t have to worry or think about food. It was such a luxury not have to factor this in for older 2. Choice B has options, just smaller so less overall. [/quote]

Food is important.

Also, unless your kid is Conservative/religious and really wants that vibe, I would say no.  For one of my kids that would have been a Huge No.

The other ended up at a Jesuit school in the midwest, so while there were some conservative kids (just like on all campuses), vast majority are open minded and moderate to liberal.  However, diversity was not as much of a thing (Catholic school in midwest--66% white kids, 13% hispanic (as one would expect at a jesuit uni in the midwest), and then only 5-6% asian.

So it's not as diverse as that kid would have wanted, but they found their group and most of their Friends are moderate and open minded 20 somethings now.

Whereas my kid at a much more diverse university has friends who are much more diverse---40% of friends are asian (my kid is half asian), a few hispanic and some black kids as well.  And then some white Americans too.  So a much more diverse group.  More importantly, the friends are all liberal, some very very liberal and active about it.  For my kid who wanted a progressive campus and somewhere that supports diversity (my kid refused to look at schools in the south or smaller towns in midwest because of that), they are very happy.
