[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re feeling at home.  I'm 8:05 (and another ex-prof!).  And I wouldn't start there.  I'd start with programs and then only visit schools that have what she's looking for academically.  Among those schools, fit's certainly a voting issue -- and could certainly be THE voting issue if she gets some place and has the "I'd hate it here" reaction.

Conversely,[b] I think it sends the wrong message about what college is to start from which campus environments do I like best and treat academics as an afterthought.

So, yes, fit matters, but it's not all social/environmental.   It's curricular and pedagogical as well.  And if you start with the former, it'll be hard to put the latter in the picture.  [/quote]

I must have mistakenly left the impression that this is how she is approaching her college search.   She is not.   She is only interested in visiting schools that offer a classics/classical studies major and preferably schools where she can double major in classics and in theatre.    :)
