<p>I second the above suggestions, and will give a nod to USF, as well. I’ve heard only good things from the few friends I know who’ve attended (all very pleasant and intelligent people). It sounds like you have CA decently well-covered, although if you’re already up in NorCal, UC Davis might be worth a look. The school is large, but without the “urban” feel of some of the UC’s. Davis is very community-oriented…might be interesting for your daughter.</p>
<p>I’d also advise taking a look at Pitzer and Scripps, both in SoCal’s Claremont consortium. If religious environments are alright (seems possible, given your mention of Pepperdine), maybe USD, and Westmont as well. </p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
