Thank you for your information. She did go back for the second time and made the decision to go to UVM. She did not want to go to UVM at first but after one month of "no alternative" she focused on moving forward with everything. The smith invite came a day before orientation at UVM. We went to orientation, signed up for classes etc and when she came home went to smith for a second look. It's hard to change directions once you have commited. It was a hard decision for her.

I'm sure she'll be happy. My daughter just finished her freshman year at UVM. She is NOT (I can't emphasize that enough) a partier and is very serious about her studies. She had a rough time until February or so. I have to say, I think she would have had this rough time at any school.

Without going into a multi-page psychoanalysis of this child, I will tell you that she is very happy now and is looking forward to going back. I visited a few times and met many very nice kids. She has met non-partiers. Once word got out, everyone knew someone who didn't party and was more than happy to introduce her. : ).

You're right, I think the honors dorm/classes will be great for your daughter. Mine didn't want to live with "just the smart kids". Then she complained that she wasn't meeting kids who met her standards of intelligence.

I'm sure she's made a great choice.
