Thank you kmcmom,

It is very helpful. I wanted to ask at this time because as many have suggested I have done the history search on CC and it kind of leaves your head spinning. I think academically (with the language, etc) it is a really good fit for my D. I think she down to evaluating the “quirkiness” eclectic aspect and trying to understand that better.

Their is certainly nothing wrong with those quirky traits…I have one D that fits that description to a T. But not this D. So as a result she wonders about the fit from a more personal, living day-to-day aspect.

At the same time she loves language and liberal arts…just has some concerns about the size of UM. Not freaked out by it, just raises questions for her (for example she is strongly considering BC which is 1/3 the size of UM). So naturally she thought a good compromise would be the RC. In a nutshell her two concerns with it are 1) being a fit with the type of people who are in RC and 2) that it doesn’t isolate her too much and cut her off from the full university to too great an extent.

Thanks again for your thoughts…really helpful to hear these different perspectives.
