Wow, good for you for getting three great opportunities. I’m from NC so would be inclined towards Elon (nice size, nice campus, good involvement/study abroad, but in an unexceptional town). If I wanted an urban environ I’d choose American. If I wanted LAC and was comfortable with a small, somewhat remote school I’d pick Grinnell. Academically I think Grinnell may be strongest but it’s probably not for everyone. I suspect American is the best known and would be great for international contacts and DC’s opportunities, but DC is, of course urban, and not the friendliness place around. Elon may be a happy median between the advantages/disadvantages of your other options. It definitely is friendly. Good luck.
