Brown vs. Davidson

Down to the line...My d is still torn between the 2 schools. She likes the idea of having all the academic choices that Brown offers but she likes Davidson's campus and small intimate setting. She is coming from a graduating class of 60 students. She is planning on majoring in economics, both schools offer that major. She is interested in IR and Public Policy.

Brown more nationally known, offers more majors, and courses, likes several of the programs they have, maybe has more job opportunities, grad school placement is higher than Davidson, etc. con: larger student body, worried about how accessible the professors will be, and is not looking forward to the cold weather.

Davidson Also a great education, close professor contact...maybe better letters of recs, or more research opportunites because of that?? Immediately connected to a group of students during scholarship weekend, warmer weather cons: known mostly in the SE., In SoCal people go, what college? Limited in course selection due to size.
