<p>Look into Colorado College.
It’s a LAC where she can major/minor in theatre ([Theatre</a> and Dance at Colorado College](<a href=“http://www.coloradocollege.edu/academics/dept/theatredance/]Theatre”>Home - Colorado College)).
It has a traditional campus feel, but is set in a mid-sized city at the foot of the Rockies ([Our</a> Campus](<a href=“http://www.coloradocollege.edu/basics/campus/]Our”>Our Campus - Colorado College)). The arts are active (a new theater/arts complex was opened in 2008) but it has a good balance of science, social science and humanities students. Winter sports are an important part of campus culture (ice hockey is the major D1 program; a winter Olympics training center is a few blocks from campus; skater Peggy Fleming is a graduate.) It grants merit aid to about 12% of students. It is a bit less selective than Middlebury (with “test-flexible” admissions) and is much less isolated.
