<p>Peacemaker...I enjoyed reading about each of your kids and the thoughts that went into their college decisions. I agree, as well that it doesn't matter if one pursues a more intellectual route or chooses to study their passion that is career oriented because it can work either way....each person is different. I have one doing more of the liberal arts route though she has a clear major and graduate school intentions (majoring in architectural studies) and wasn't 100% of the major until she had taken some college courses. I have another one in a more focused program who has known what she has wanted to do from a very young age and her college degree is more passion/career oriented....she is at NYU (like your kid!) but in Tisch for musical theater. </p>
<p>About your daughter...those are some good choices. I want to mention that since I live in Vermont....UVM is a very good school and while it is a university, it is a small one and even if it is not a LAC, it still has the feel of a smaller school. Also, unlike many state universities, UVM has more out of state students than in state ones. Your daughter may wish to look into:</p>
