Hi FresnoMom,

My daughter had very specific criteria: She didn’t want to go to a college in New Jersey or a state that touched New Jersey, nor did she want to go north or south. So we headed west to Ohio. We visited three smaller liberal arts colleges in the Columbus area (she wanted to be near a big city), and out of the three felt most at ‘home’ at Denison. The students seemed happy to be there, there were lots of activities going on on-campus, there were many community service opportunities off-campus, and the academics were quite challenging but not completely overwhelming.

She knew she would not have a car while she was at college, so she liked the fact that she could walk to a “real” town for food, banking, etc. (The lovely town of Granville is down the hill from Denison - a 10-15-minute trip at most.)

Hope this helps!
