<p>Wheaton is a good school and it was on my daughter’s list had she not gotten into Bard. We did not get as far as visiting though, so I don’t know how it would compare. From what I’ve seen at Bard, there are all types. My daughter’s roomate is quiet and studious, and my daughter is a risk taker and pushes the limits. In other words, a perfect match. Seriously; they love each other. The question is, do you want to go someplace where you feel comfortable or someplace you feel challenged? Both are perfectly good choices.</p>
