<p>My son advised me that there is a FB group for those who will be freshmen this summer.</p>
<p>My daughter is torn betw Geneseo and St Olaf in MN. Both are mid-sized, highly selective, Liberal Arts, D3 Swim team, which is what our daughter wants. Both are in rural settings. We are from a suburb of Chicago so proximity to St Olaf is a bit easier (7 hours by car) than Geneseo (10 hrs by car). Geneseo is 1st in conference in Women’s swimming, St Olaf is 4th in their conf. Any suggestions as to which one to choose or ideas about how to decide? I went to Geneseo in late 70’s/early 80’s and I know it’s changed for the better academically. Where should she go HELP!</p>
<p>What did she decide?
I believe St Olaf is even smaller than Geneseo, about half as many students, and very remote.
How important is the swimming to her? If the education/schools are comparable, and swimming is important, I think I’d much rather be in a winning program.
How important is cost and how much aid would she get from St Olaf?</p>
