I LOVED going to Ohio State. I am a big-school other-than-liberal-arts big-sports kind of girl. I am thrilled one of my daughters is a very happy student at OSU. Great school, city, major/academics, friendly students, great athletics and school spirit. That being said, I would be more than happy if my next (imaginary) daughter went to (Oh Lord this so pains me to say this but) Michigan. Great school, academics, college town, friendly, great athletic tradition and school spirit. I would also take Boston College. Great school, academics, school spirit and athletics (especially ice hockey), Jesuit tradition, and I love Boston.
I know there are fabulous schools on the West Coast, it would just be too far for this mother's heart to have a child so far away. I already envy my friends whose kids are a couple of hours away. They go down for a quick overnight or even day trip. Hate' em.
