Got it - my daughter applied - that was our impression after our tour, interview, and interaction with Hillel kids… and I found this below.
My real statement is - even if it’s deemed less than first rate, perhaps a less rigorous school might be ok for the OP but certainly one where they can feel well.
While the OP may be a city person, nothing is more refreshing (although not necessarily medically curing) - nothing is more refreshing than a daily walk in the park - which can happen in the city - or in an isolated place like a DePauw which has a huge campus. The big thing is though - the right school is the one where you can thrive (and can afford), not the highest ranked and that’s what i was trying to convey.
Thanks for the info on W&M. I found this…but yeah, as you say, may not be the right choice.
