It might help if OP came back and provided a little more info about grades and what the student may be interested in studying or looking for in a college environment.


Seriously -- Skidmore, Bard, Northeastern???? It's like DCUM only computes certain schools for the word "creative."

I like these, plus Ithaca! (As well as considering whether he wants to go to college! He might do great starting at community college.)

What about a school like Warren Wilson College in NC or Paul Smith’s College in NY? Great places for creative outdoorsy kids looking for a more hands-on educational experience.
