<p>See, all I had to say was “the hippie school” and you knew it was HB, Lol! </p>
<p>My D was nominated for Govenors school in Japanese by her teacher/the school, but she applied and didn’t make it in . I think the GPA is what hurt her chances really and although she will probably be nominated again this next year, I suspect the same fate. She has gone to Concordia Language programs the last two summers instead…and now we are looking at Beloit’s for next summer. </p>
<p>U of Richmond?! Had no idea. Good to know…will look into whether she could take a course and transfer it to VCU…hmmm.</p>
<p>My son looked at Goucher. He was under-impressed with their art program and instructors. And he found out during the tour that he was only allowed one class / year at a partnering college.</p>
<p>But, he knows someone who is there studying art and doing good work. I think a lot is what you make of it.</p>
<p>It is an absolutely beautiful campus, however.</p>
<p>Slumom, you have such great school suggestions. I think I remember looking at Oglethorpe, but not sure why it didn’t make our list. I will revisit their site!</p>
<p>Drae27, What?! This is a huge find! thank you for telling me Temple has a JAPAN CAMPUS. My D’s original plan (last year) was to go abroad to Japan for a gap year before college, but then she decided she just really feels ready to start doing more advanced art. This kills two birds with one stone…very good find…</p>
<p>Debbie, thanks for Goucher info. This is good to know and I’m think now that it’s probably going to drop from the list…</p>
