<p>Thanks for all the suggestions! It’s nice to have a long list of possibilities; based on chatter at my school, it often feels like there are about five colleges total!</p>
<p>mom2collegekids and alam1 (and anyone else who can answer!), do you think a California girl would feel out of south at a ‘southern’ school like Duke or Emory? The idea of girls wearing sundresses out to every football game, as one guidebook describes it, doesn’t fit me. I’m almost certain that I’m just reading too much into the stereotypes, but it’s better to ask and laugh about it than to go and regret it!</p>
<p>wewet, the open curriculum at Brown sounds great! That’s the kind of program I wish I had at my high school, though there aren’t really a wide variety of classes here, so I’m fine for now. I’m glad to hear that there are ample research opportunities available at larger colleges as well. </p>
<p>pointoforder, hippo2718 and tk21769, thanks for the additions! I’ve never heard that Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore were a consortium; I’ll definitely have to research them.</p>
