LAC accessible with no car

One of the Collegekids was at NE LAC and chose not to take her car to college, b/c she would have had to park in (metaphorical) Siberia and dig her own car out, whereas there were a couple of Zipcars parked just outside the backdoor of her dorm- that she didn’t have to dig out! As @purplemama pointed out, there are always a bunch of ways to get places, including college shuttles to the big airports at the end of term, etc.

The bigger challenge is differentiating which LAC will suit her best. From a distance they all look alike, but they have really distinct personalities- differences which in my not at all humble opinion are more important than who has the better X department (at least within some very broad tiers). Push her to learn about each school the way she would a character in a show, getting past the lazy shorthand that people often apply to LACs. She needs to know which one will really suit her.
