If she’s looking for a strong social justice component/activist community (vs. “school spirit”) then that opens up a different set of colleges- Brandeis for sure, Bryn Mawr/Swarthmore?

And maybe drop the focus on size… first of all, because it’s really not that material on a day to day basis. Yes- Marlboro College feels different from BU. But rural Vermont IS different from downtown Boston. So maybe size is a red herring and she’s really trying to define a vibe and not a size.

And if you can focus on “what does good art and music” mean- that will help. Any urban college will have access to symphony/museums/galleries because that’s what living in a city means. Wesleyan has a lot of very talented and musical kids- is that important? Barnard attracts dancers and visual artists-- so does Fordham and every other college in NYC.
