My daughter is trying to decide between these two schools. Does anyone have any advice?

    Skidmore has a funnier name :)

    Mostly just bumping for you, my dear.

    Yeah my brother calls is Skid Mark. That doesn't seem to be deterring her though. Both are good small new england liberal arts schools. One has a more hipster vibe and one is more preppy. One has a pretty hip town nearby the other has a not very hip town not very nearby. Both have excellent dance programs and a strong reputation for liberal arts. Both are less diverse and more expensive than we would like but this is what she has narrowed it down to. One day to decide-yikes!

    Liberal arts colleges are out of my comfort zone. Sorry.

    Don't know about skidmore but I live close to Connecticut College and my cousin went there. As far as I know very good school but in located in a generally quiet area so might not be as much to do around this area but I think it has a very nice campus and I wouldn't mind going to school there.
