<p>Thanks for your input, Soozie - this query was for a friend of my D, who is making the Muhlenberg/American choice in the next few days. I appreciate your candor and of course you’re right, it is an individual decision. The very traits of each school that you mentioned are the ones she is looking at. For her the small town/big city aspect is a main part of her decision. At least its a good decision to have!</p>
