<p>How excited is he about going far away to school? Pomona and Occidental may be better in the long run than going cross country</p>
<p>IDad loves Swat, and it is a wonderful school, very, very high on my daughter’s list, but it is really liberal. My daughter had it and St. Olaf’s on the same list at one time, and it and Davidson on the same list, but many kids wouldn’t consider them together. Maybe you should elaborate on liberal/conservative - Pepperdine is just about right, or USC-type conservative, or just as long as its not Berkeley, its OK?</p>
