Help needed filling out daughters college list (LACs/small research)

If I recall correctly, the OP’s daughter loved the physical environment of Harvard, which tells me she is drawn to the old, gothic, ivy-covered aesthetic. That’s why I mentioned Mt Holyoke, which is more approachable + utterly gorgeous in that vein.

I was surprised to learn that my own child doesn’t care for old, gothic, or ivy. There are so many unknowable aspects of college choice, selection, fit, and vibe. If a kid likes a particular type of physical environment, that’s as good a way as many others to narrow things down.
