[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the great feedback.

Yes, we are black and honestly I had never heard of Liberty until a friend mentioned it (her son goes to Regent U). I was initially excited about the idea of a large and diverse Christian college, but further research lets me know it wouldn't be a good choice. My daughter, while religious, is very liberal and accepting of others, so a school that leaned far-right would not be a good fit (we are Democrats).

The main consideration is finding a school that is within 4 hours of DC. And finding one that is diverse. Some of the schools mentioned look great (ex: Grove City, Messiah), but diversity is an issue. One school that looks like it might fit the bill is Eastern University (in St. Davids, PA), but again I'll need to research their reputation.

Just to note: My daughter plans to attend grad school (wants to become a physician assistant), so my main concern for undergrad is finding a school where she is comfortable and can grow. She is fairly reserved by nature and her experience at a state school (where there are parties, drinking, cursing, etc) is just not a good fit for her. I hate to admit it, but she's a bit too judgmental, so she's wary about making friends and when she does, if she learns they do any of the things she's not into, the friendship cools. I think having her in a Christian environment where she believes (whether rightly or wrongly) that the students are more "wholesome" would help her make and keep friends. [/quote]
