Please help my daughter narrow down her list

Florida Southern is about equal distance from Orlando or Tampa airports. When we toured, the students said they use both, so that doubles your options for flights.

U of Tampa is also considered a beautiful school. You might look at some of the Florida state schools, like South Florida in Tamps (2 campuses), or FIU. I like Rollins the best, and I actually like Flagler a lot too. Yes, your daughter’s stats are high, but she may still find a good fit and be the top dog. Personally, I couldn’t get out of Lakeland and Florida Southern fast enough, but the campus is beautiful and if she wants a small (tiny) college town, Lakeland will work. I love Winter Park (Rollins) and St. Augustine (Flagler), didn’t care for Deland (Stetson). All schools will have shuttle service to the airports, but my daughter can always find a ride (about an hour away)

Of course this may all be for naught if hurricane Matthew takes out everything along the coast.

I think she’ll find schools in the south more religious than schools in the north, even if they aren’t affiliated with a church. My daughter is at a school which was not founded by any religion, but it has a non-denominational chapel which is run by a catholic priest and a Newman dorm. Palm Beach, as you know and already crossed off, has required chapel attendance. There are a few Catholic schools in Florida (St. Leo, Barry, Ave Maria (which is very very religious)), and several baptist or Christian schools too. Flagler is not catholic, but sort of is.
