[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d have my husband rent a car one way to Burlington via Ithaca, maybe Hamilton, and Skidmore. He flies down to DC in morning from Burlington. After you know he’s back, you fly up to Burlington in afternoon. DD spends day alone in Burlington but other child is confirmed cared for. Then you and DD do train route back. Or DH drives your car and you drive it back, depending on whether you like driving. [/quote]

That's a good idea!

I also just thought we could all go to my mothers in Boston, leave other DC there and both take DD to Dartmouth, Conn, Wesleyan and UVM.  Lotta driving and a little backwards but it might work.[/quote]

That’s a good idea. IMHO Conn College (and maybe Dartmouth) doesn’t fit in with the other schools on her list. But I guess it’s good to explore different options. [/quote]

Do you think that Ithaca College fits in ?

Regardless, OP seems to be open-minded to options an taking advantage of proximity.[/quote]

I am VERY open minded - I’d like her to look at everything from Clark/UMass to UVM to Brown.  She’s similarly open minded (Syracuse/Ithaca to Dartmouth) but has a random strong opinion on some schools; like Brandies is a hard no.  Rochester hard no.  Amherst hard no.  Won’t consider women’s colleges.  And some of her hard no’s are silly like she heard from someone that the food is terrible.  But once my kid makes a decision like that she’s never in her entire life changed her mind so I’m taking her word for it.[/quote]

Make sure you eat at UMass - the food is great. Also, my DD said she didn't want a women's college, but she really liked Holyoke (not Smith or Wellesley though). [/quote]

OP again.  Current thinking is to make her see Mt. Holyoke and go there first.

We will go to my mothers, leave younger DC, drive to Mt. Holyoke.  UVM next, Dartmouth last (I want Dartmouth last becuase if she hates a school becuase she's tired I want it to be Dartmouth, lol).  Any suggestions of how to do this, where to stay? [/quote]

If budget isn’t tight:
Hotel Northampton far and away for UMass and Holyoke if you have a car. Great hotel. 
Dartmouth - either Hanover Inn or Six South is very nice and right in town
UVM - plenty of hotels in town [/quote]
