Both are good choices. Look carefully at the curriculum at both. While SLC has a rep for “do your own thing”, it’s actually very rigerous–almost all small classes with a lot of writing and reading. THe reputaion comes mostly from the fact that there are no formal majors–you make up your program with close faculty help, but the classes themselves are pretty intense.

What people said about NYC is true. SLC is a half hour commuter train ride. Bard is a lot bigger deal to get to NYC, but the trade-off is the rural campus.
