[quote=Anonymous]Id think deeply about the type of environment he wants. Example:

Uchicago is a great, really hard school. It’s not exactly known for its exciting environment even if it’s in Chicago, because students work like hounds there, and the academic culture is very PhD prep even if you’re going off to industry right after.

Bowdoin is also great, really collaborative community school. Bowdoin people work hard, but they also spend a lot of time community bonding (Maine winter on a small campus brings people together).

Davidson is another great option, pretty much a rigorous, Greek life school. It’s got heavy grade deflation but students love it there and the Greek life takes over the culture a bit. With North Carolina, you get the sun but you also get the humidity.

He should also look at faculty closely. Humanities departments across the board are struggling a bit with their faculty lines, and he should Ed where he has the ability to be taught by important people in his field. For example, if I was an English major today, I’d jump at the opportunity to go to Columbia or Iowa, because they have the best of the best.[/quote]
