Residential Treatment Facility Options - Help!

Hi everyone :)

I am a 23-year old graduate student and I was diagnosed with anorexia three years ago after I joined my sorority in undergrad. I have been on a recovery-remission-relapse cycle ever since that has continued to control and destroy my life. Within the past few months, I have relapsed to the lowest weight I have ever been - my BMI is currently barely at 17. I went in to an eating disorder clinic for an assessment and they want me to drop out of school and enter a residential facility immediately. However, I am determined to finish off the semester (ending in mid-December) and am willing to enter the facility in January.

I have been researching facilities around the country and am BEYOND overwhelmed - there is so much information to take into account. I was wondering if anyone has any good or bad experiences with a specific facility. I live in Ohio, and there are no residential facilities here (that are that great, anyways) so I need all the help I can get.

Any support is so needed - It's do or die at this point (literally).
Thank you all SO much for reading.

    I've been to Renfrew in Florida and it's awesome. Also, heard great things about UNC Chapel Hill, Remuda Ranch, and Denver Eating Recovery Center.
