Providence College or Gettysburg College?

My D19 attended Gettysburg and was also admitted to Providence. She really like both of them and the ultimate tie breaker was the travel component…we live 2 hrs drive from Gettysburg vs a 5 hr drive or 1 hr flight from Providence. However, the day she was going to her official tour to visit Providence with my DH, it snowed and they almost missed the tour because the flight was late. It sort of stuck with her that that could happen again coming home at times and it tipped the scales in the end lol. I think she would have done well at either school. Funny the things that come into play at the end.

I’ll also add that I think Providence has a very strong alumni network. Gettysburg may as well but it didn’t seem as evident to me.

Good luck with your decision! It will be great either way!
