<p>No all girls. No small LACs. I don’t know if she will prefer the 3000-5000 student size, or the 20,000+ student size, but I do think she wants a “traditional” college experience in a decent sized town.</p>
<p>Valparaiso’s site says 3100 undergrads, plus 1000 grad students. My sister went there and loved lots of things about it. Although Valpo may not be a huge place, it’s within a very short distance of the state line and where metro Chicago starts.</p>

<p>Evansville is hard to get to from the north, but you can use the interstate coming from the south. Indy does have snow in the winter, Bloomington and Evansville are south of it and do get ice storms as well. IU is known to have a good business program, merit aid and is in a small college town. Definitely consider IU as your top Indiana choice. Climate is like central/southern Illinois.</p>
