if she is looking farther afield… then consider adding Grinnell to the list. Great financial aid, and fits the culture she’s looking for (although travel expenses are an issue, as you noted). Here’s a link to the creative writing at the school:

I just came back from Family Weekend, and saw that, in addition to what’s noted on the English department website linked above, the school has a college press that is funded by the student publications committee, and several students had their work bound in a paperback format.

For schools such as Oberlin and Bard, note the word “competitive” of a poster on this thread. Not all students are accepted into the creative writing programs. If it were me, I would check out the reality of opportunities for all students at any school your D might be interested in.
