<p>what about middlebury, colby, b.m.c…schools like that?</p>

<p>I don’t know what bmc is, but I cannot imagine anyone for whom Middlebury or Colby would be a safety.</p>
<p>bryn mawr?</p>
<p>No insult meant, but my D visited U of South Carolina and HATED it. The campus is very small, Columbia is not exactly Charleston, and the climate is hot and humid most of the year. The Honors College is trying hard to keep smart kids from going out of state, and offers a good academic program, but the problem is location. Bad hair, bad swimming pool, one Indian restaurant in the whole STATE…no.</p>
<p>Bennington, Wells College, , Carnegie Mellon,Chatham, Connecticut College, NYU (expensive!), George Washington (also check out the MT Vernon campus–again expensive), Goucher, College of Charleston, are also possibilities.</p>
