College Help from the BBB- provide your insight into a specific school

I went to Claremont McKenna College for undergrad and Kellogg (Northwestern) for grad school. My late DH went to Harvey Mudd and Caltech. My DD is at University of Denver (mid-sized private), but got into a number of other schools that could be of interest (Tulane, Bryn Mawr, CMC, Conn College, American, etc.). I have pretty extensive background in other small liberal arts colleges and would be happy to chat with anyone interested in any of these schools

I went to Hopkins and am still in Baltimore so can answer questions about most of the schools in the area.

How does your daughter like DU? This is one of the schools my DD is considering for next year.

I went to Haverford College in PA for my BA and GEorge Washington University for my JD.

Both my kids chose liberal arts colleges, so that’s something we have firsthand experience with.

ETA: I realize this is a bit vague lol but they are so small that I don’t feel comfortable posting the names here on a public board. However, they are both in consortiums (Claremont and quaker). I also did a lot of research into USC (honors specifically), UCs, and other SLACs, including Reed, as they were deciding. Feel free to PM me if this might be helpful.

Dh and I went to USC for undergrad, DH went to UVA for law school. DS1 is at Whitman College right now (small liberal arts college in WA). We toured most liberal arts colleges in and around Los Angeles, OR, and WA if anyone is interested in those areas (plus the larger schools around here-- USC, UCLA, and UCSB).

Same boat, except my son. It’s one of his top choices too. The $10 shuttle bus to different ski resorts on Sundays might have tipped him over the edge LOL.

My brother went there but that was forever ago and he was on the hockey team, so his experience was not the norm I imagine.

I went to Emerson and studied Film/Mass Communications. From what I gather the school has changed a lot though, so not sure my info is all that relevant. So many fellow Emersonians live in my LA suburb/neighborhood and work in Hollywood - such a small world that got transported across the country!

I hire animation artists, so am vey familiar with CalArts, Art Center and some other art schools with animation/illustration programs. More specifically, I know a bit about getting jobs after finishing with an art degree!

That’s funny. It seems to be very popular around here. I believe you are in STL too, right? My DD has learning disabilities and they have a great program.

Ha! Yes, that’s right, same area. Colorado Boulder is very popular too. We ran into another local family while we were touring there.
