We’re going back to Davidson, Wash Jeff and also considering the University of Maryland (we’re in-state)…Maryland is very big and he’s always done better with smaller classes and coming from a pretty small class of 85 boys in an a private school.
We are visiting all 3 and hopefully can decide best course. I like the advice of having to "love Davidson’ and not just the rank.
Many people in the DC area you talk to don’t know it. They ask me where Davidson is - I cringe thinking how much $ it is without that much name-recognition but people that know colleges know Davidson.
