<p>As a long-term college administrator, I have a great admiration for Wooster. Most academics do.</p>

<p>I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. What do you think you will major in? Other things that you are really looking for?</p>

<p>my D will be focusing on studio art, writing and psychology. she is also a singer/songwriter and definitely not into the Greek scene. Now it looks like its down to Skidmore vs Wooster, and we LOVED Wooster but worry (perhaps unnecessarily) that it is not well known…but she wants to feel comfortable, successful, no cliques, and establish close relationships w teachers. skidmore is much easier for us to get to…but is that a valid reason to select a college? ahhh…this is not easy. but i must say that everyone who takes the time on this site to write back is so kind - it is really nice to see such support among parents/students!</p>

<p>With her interests, I would pick Skidmore</p>
