We recently visited St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. My DD absolutely loved the smallness of it and the first year program concept. Although I liked the atmosphere, the university is set really far away from any major cities (2 hours). Therefore, my concern is regarding real internship opportunities. Will she have opportunities available during her years there so that she can graduate with some experience. Also, who recruits from these schools?

The people I spoke to at the school did mention that students are encouraged to seek these opportunities via the study abroad program, but we did not have time to get more specific. What about on a more local level? I am thinking about future employers.

She wants to major in English and possibly seek a career in creative writing or work as an Editor. I would love to hear from anyone who has attended this school or is familiar with it.
