<p>I'm not surprised Harvey Mudd's on the bottom of the list. :D</p>

4

<p>Interesting list. Especially since I never even heard of Bennington! Otherwise it's the "usual suspects" at the top of the list.</p>

5

<p>Never heard of Bennington?!? It's small, but quite famous (and at times, infamous). It was started in 1932 and has had it's (way) ups and one big (way) down a few decades ago, but it is now, once again, a growing and vibrant place. Take a look at the awesome new website!</p>

<p>I am a new user, looking to whittle down the list of performing Arts Colleges and Universities my daughter may want to attend as freshmen in the fall of 2010.</p>

<p>She is a good student and wants to concentrate in dance/choreography. Focus is on schools from South Carolina northward to Maine.</p>

<p>Any feedback is greatly appreciated.</p>
