<p>I would like to suggest SUNY New Paltz…it has the artsy and creative population your daughter likes and is great for studio art, theater, creative writing. It’s a green campus and the students are very environmentally aware. Many of the students are very health conscious and so there is a good population of vegetarians and vegans and those who are not into alcohol and drugs. While it is around, I think it is easy to avoid if one chooses to. </p>
<p>Good size - 6,000 undergrads. Great location and super fun artsy college town in the Northeast. Surrounded by mountains and nature…lots of farms, rivers, lakes, hiking, horseback riding, camping, etc. but 1 1/2 hours to NYC. The student body is down to earth, friendly and laid back.</p>
<p>Sounds like it could be a good match to check out. The price is right too.</p>
