[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was just named a finalist for the Posse scholarship paired with Lewis & Clark.  While full tuition (but not room and board) is wonderful, I'm concerned it's not a great school academically.  We are in Virginia and are mostly confident that DC will be accepted to W&M with DC's stats, which seems better academically and has a better reputation.  DC is interested in humanities and will surely go to grad school at some point.  DC is intellectually curious, so W&M, if they get in, seems like a good choice.  But DC thinks they will make friends and fit in more easily at Lewis & Clark.  DC is quirky and non-binary.  The presence of a greek society at W&M, even though only 30%, has DC convinced they won't like it.  But when we toured W&M, they did like it.  Will visit Lewis & Clark this week as decisions need to be by Friday.  Is it better to go to a school with more rigorous academics and better reputation, or a school with full tuition paid and made easier social environment?  I know there is no right answer, but just looking for thoughts and things to consider.[/quote]

The city of Portland, Oregon is tailor-made for quirky & non-binary individuals.

Experiencing the Pacific Northwest is an education in itself. Very different from the east Coast--different in away that your child might love & appreciate.

Because I know very little about your student & family so I cannot make a hard recommendation--but your child does have two options that should result in a lot of positive growth into adulthood.[/quote]
