I can't say enough about Brown and the close contact with professors. However, you do have to seek it out more than at an LAC where it is served right up to you (the latter is a good thing, I'm not being derogatory)

Size is relative. If she had a graduating class of 60, a class of 1500 may be overwhelming. I had a class of 300, so it's just the right size for me. Visit both, pick of feel and fit. I don't know much about Davidson but my guess is that they have similar vibes and demographics. If she's worried about too big of a school, I would actually *gasp* recommend Davidson. But remember, you are also LIVING with these people night and day and so by the end of 4 years, the school will seem much much smaller.

I think either is a sure win. So go on your gut.
