<p>FLVADAD, I was just scrolling down to the end of the posts to say "Consider Emory & Henry" and you beat me to it.</p>
<p>I wonder if she'd be interested in a women's college? They have a reputation for being quite small and nurturing. I don't know much about women's colleges in the south, but options include Sweet Briar, Hollins, Agnes Scott, and Newcomb (which is affiliated with Tulane, so if she wanted a larger environment as she advanced, she could have that too). GW and Emory also have small satellite colleges (I forget the names) for the first couple years--I think students then transfer to the main campus. These might be worth looking into. I visited the one at GW when I was looking at colleges and was really impressed. It feels very far from the hustle and bustle of DC, but it would be a very short drive, and there are frequent shuttle buses to the main campus.</p>
<p>whether it's the thought of going to college that is causing your daughter anxiety, or the application process. Those are very different things.</p>
<p>Too bad she is not looking at West Coast schools. Scripps College in CA is the most nurturing school I've seen, IMO. And it has a great art department, too.</p>
