Ispf72, so glad to hear you visited Whitman, it is a trek from where you are. We’re in California and went to see St Lawrence University because it sounded similar and gives good merit aid, but Canton seemed beyond the beyond. We liked Walla Walla much better, and it has it’s own airport. The travel cost does have to be factored in.

Have you been to Macalester yet? My S was accepted and it stayed in the top 3 until the very last, we really liked it. In the end, he decided that he wanted more outdoor and club sports opportunities than he thought it offered. If those things aren’t top priorities for your daughter, then everything else it has is first rate. It’s location in St Paul is wonderful and the travel expenses would be considerably less.
