<p>I think at this point it is between SMCM and UConn. While it is clear that the community is welcoming at SMCM, she could only visit it once. She is concerned that she might not fit in at such a small school (especially as an OOS student). She is also concerned that there will not be enough to do in such a remote location, especially in the winter. So she keeps coming back to UConn as a place that accommodates all types, is a bit more mainstream (her phrasing) and has a lot of school sponsored events. On the other hand, she doesn’t want to sacrifice the academic intensity of having small classes and more interaction with teachers that the LACs offer. (Not that UConn doesn’t have hard working, achieving kids). So she goes back and forth. </p>
