roderick - My son is likely interested in computer science, software engineering and/or math. As for the other LACs, he was looking at Kalamazoo College (they only have a 3:2 engineering program, which just didn’t make much sense, and a very tiny CS department with only 3 faculty) and Hope College. He loved Hope but they have a very new engineering department and overall he just wasn’t sure it would provide him with a rigorous enough program. Also, I have to admit that although he liked the environment of the small LACs very much, he really wasn’t crazy about the relatively massive english/humanities requirements! I think RH will be just the right blend of academic rigor and small-school environment for someone who really loves math and physical science.

Again, good luck to all in your decisions…
