[quote=Anonymous][quote]Some schools he has suggested are Williams, Wesleyan, CT. College, Amherst, Hamilton and Bowdoin. What do you think? Certainly they do not have the cache of an ivy but would you say are more prestigious than a good top university? As an example UNC, Wake Forest, etc.....he is confused and so are we! Any input would be great, thank you.[/quote]

These are all excellent schools that will give him a great education, that are well respected by graduate programs, that will give him a network of smart peers and close relationships with mentoring faculty, and are plenty "prestigious."  I don't know that they are more or less "prestigious" than other well respected universities (like UNC and such), but it seems like he's more interested in going to a smaller school and having the liberal arts school experience and a lot about college is finding the right fit where someone will thrive.  At a large university like UNC, sometimes it is easy for undergraduates to get lost in the shuffle, and that won't happen at a liberal arts college.  I don't think you should worry about his opportunities in the future coming out of someplace like Amherst Wesleyan, Williams, or Bowdoin.[/quote]
