<p>Both of my kids looked at a number of the schools suggested in this thread. One thing we found was that size matters. southwestern in Georgetown TX was a really cool school. It was also very small. There is a big difference with schools around 1,300 (Southwestern) and 3,000 (St. Olaf).</p>
<p>My kids liked the bigger LAC atmosphere. Among their favorites were St. Olaf, Gustavus Adolphus, Hope College, and Trinity (in Texas).</p>
