Hopefully over the next year your daughter will get a good feel for the seniors at her school who end up at the various colleges she is considering. Are those who end up applying to and/or attending school X the type of kids she’d like to be around for the next four years? Does she have enough shared interests with these kids academically and otherwise? How do these kids interact with their peers, teachers and staff? Is it with distain, indifference, or respect? Is their learning style and lifestyle combative or cooperative and is it compatible with your daughter’s style?
When it comes to fit, paying attention to which kids end up at these schools will probably provide much more valuable information than the views of the parents here or the pile of marketing material you’ll receive from some of these schools.
