If this girl wants warmer weather, she is NOT going to be happy at Smith, Vassar, Amherst, Mt Holyoke. Tufts, Wellesley, Brandeis, MacCalester…they all have mighty cold winters.

I’m not sure I understand the kind if “quirky” this gal is. Could you clarify a bit (or did I miss it??). Is she a sciency kind of kid, or artsy or what? That would make a big difference.

My daughter goes to a school with about 4500 undergrads. She looked as some smaller schools as well. She did get interesting advice about one school (1600 undergrads)…a wise friend said…go someplace larger. If you don’t find your niche, there will be plenty of other places to look. That might not be the case at a smaller school.
