[quote=Anonymous]The main thing your daughter has to decide about is really scale: Swarthmore is very small--more toward 1500 than even 2000--and Yale is mid-sized with the more intimate residential college communities. Intro classes at Yale will be large and it will be easy to get lost in the cracks but it's also easy to thrive and find your communities. I wen there as an insecure 17-year-old and loved it, even if I wasn't top of the pack. (And even had seminar dinners at world-famous professors' homes.) I also taught at Swarthmore and was duly impressed by the students. But it's very econ/CS-heavy these days, which in such a small communiity can be felt. She really needs to think hard, visit if possible, get a sense of where she thinks she'd better thrive academically and above all individually, and then pull the trigger with a very tough decision.[/quote]
