[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, I’m the OP. My daughter is a great student (3.95 weighted) but isn’t overly academic and isn’t looking for anything too competitive. We are conservative which I’m worried about if she goes to a liberal arts college - not bc we don’t love and accept the ideas and beliefs of others - but bc others might not love and accept our ideas. 
Honestly my daughter wants to run, make great friends, not party and get a degree but certainly doesn’t need an ivy… maybe we are the minority here, but we are okay with average for college!! We are coming from a small private school so size isn’t a huge issue. I was more looking for campus life, happiness of students, is there any Christian organizations, etc. 
and this is my first time posting so if there was a similar post, it was not me. Thanks for any more info. I really appreciate it.[/quote]

I’m the PP with a boy who runs at Conn. The runners are such a nice group, and they really serve as a resource for one other.  My son is not conservative, but there are a couple of conservatives on his team and he has some good discussions. I’m not familiar with the Christian organizations, but I’m sure they exist and are active.  The school just resurfaced the track, and it is fabulous, and their cross country course is on the Sound and considered one of the most beautiful in the country. Conn is not perfect; the dorms are pretty grim and the school doesn’t have the same money to throw around as Williams, Amherst, or Bowdoin.  But I think they do a good job of investing in what’s important: faculty and counseling/advising resources. [/quote]
DP but sounds amazing. A lot of these colleges with more $s spend it on everything but faculty and advising.[/quote]
