VISITED:
Wheaton
Clark (liked most)
Hartwick (like a lot, except for very hilly campus)
Hobart William Smith (liked least)
Bennington (small, liked least)
Guilford (farthest from home)

HASN'T VISITED:
Hofstra
Sarah Lawrence
Drew
Univ of Hartford

(D also visited and loved the following univs: UNC-A, UNC-G, UVM. She will also apply to state schools: New Paltz, Purchase, Oneonta. The state univs are pretty much definite, but I really need help getting a better handle on the LACs/private univs listed above.)
