Mom55-
I saw that Vassar was on your list. I’d suggest you check it out. It has an EXCELLENT art and art history dept (my VC freshman roommate went on to get her MA and Ph.D in Art History at Yale and now teaches Art History at U Cal Davis). It’s been coed for 34 years now (hard to believe!), has decent sports and is pretty liberal in its orientation. Poughkeepsie isn’t the greatest college town, but New Haven and NYC arent that far away. Don’t forget that Vassar participates in the 12 college exchange, so if your D. doesn’t want to spend her jr yr abroad in Italy, she can go to Wesleyan, Smith, U. Conn and several others as well. Williams had put a temp. hold on their participation in the exchange at some point, but I don’t know anything more about that, or if they’re back participating fully.I think they are, but I am not sure.
