I like my name, too. Thanks.
BTW, IMO, no one who opts for Bard could go wrong attending any of the other schools you listed, and probably 100 other ones. If not more. There are quite a few absolutely terrific colleges in America.
A huge problem, IMO, especially among high school seniors, is the "I HAVE TO get into my first choice school or my life is over" syndrome. The reality is, if the student has been careful in assembling a list of similar schools, any one of them would probably turn out to be great. There are fascinating and brilliant kids at all the schools in the list I linked up in my earlier post, life-changing professors, most have beautiful campuses...
Seen objectively, it's impossible to know before the fact that ANY particular college, including Harvard or Princeton, or Bard, is the best place for a particular student. Whether the school chosen is the right school, a good fit, is something the student finds out after the fact, as freshman year unfolds.
