[quote=Anonymous]As a Carleton alum, I think it depends on who she wants to be around. I avoided the east coast colleges and went to MN because I wanted to be around friendlier & less pretentious students than those with whom I attended an east coast prep school. Most of my classmates were from the top of their classes in midwestern schools, with some kids who were from Hawaii, Florida, CA, etc., but wanted something different. So the school attracts a different crowd than the lax-players or alternative kids from the east coast. Pomona sounds awesome but I didn't consider going that far away, so I can't speak to the school at all. (I did visit every single one of the others on your list but didn't apply to any.) Your child can thrive at and after any of these places, so she should try to visit and talk to alums and just pick what makes her happy. The ranking stuff is just noise (but if she thinks it's critical, she's probably not a Carleton-type, imho).[/quote]
