I think the issue is whether my daughter should choose the school with the culture/size she prefers (Trinity), or if she should go with what seems like the more academically challenging (Plan 2/UT-A) and perhaps better for getting into grad school (the professors have told her she can take grad classes as an undergrad).

Has she compared the course offerings, course content, and (if it matters to her) class sizes within the classics department and other related departments (e.g. philosophy, history) at each school?
