Elementary Education- what school???

<p>I have a friend who is sure she wants to go into elementery education. She's a good student- got 800 in CR and she's a good student. She's been looking at Eastern and a few other schools like Rowan. She wants to go to a school that would prepare her well for teaching. She doesn't feel the need to go to a super competitive school, but wants to not be completly bored either. She likes smaller schools that are friendly and preferably have a town/city not too far away. She's a really nice girl and I wish I could help her out, but I know nothing about good teaching schools. Does anyone have any suggestions? </p>

<p>Thanks,
E </p>

<p>(also she'd like something not too far from NJ, maybe penn, ny or anything within reasonable driving distance)</p>

<p>Virginia, Emory, Penn, Michigan State, BU, UDel, Indiana, Vanderbilt all have great edu. schools</p>
