[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing like last minute change. DC wants to switch from looking at super competitive universities to SLACs but specifically less stressful SLACs. And she is already in by EA to a top school but after terribly stressful semester (actually all of high school) wants sonething less cutthroat. Please don't say CC or lower schools. Suggestions? We put in for Davidson yesterday and are looking at Amherst today. We also thought Dartmouth would almost be like a SLAC as it's small. Other suggestions? [/quote] What's the intended major? Hard to say anything useful without that. Amherst and Dartmouth are not going to be low key chill. For that vibe, west is best. Seriously. With the possible exceptions of Stanford and Caltech, it's a lot calmer west of the Rockies. If she's STEM and if you are looking at schools like Dartmouth, which suggests she's very accomplished, maybe Rice? Small university. Known as one of the happy schools. Not cutthroat. Definitely difficult. But not mean. But oftentimes, it's the big schools where people feel most at home. Michigan is huge, but everyone seems to like it. It's big enough so that everyone finds their speed and their tribe. [/quote] Midwest, too. [/quote]
