I don't think anyone was saying rah yeah Caribbean Med schools. What I was saying is you can get a perfectly respectable job (and that is 100% the point) at a limited or even non-prestige school.
I'm also on the side of attending a school that is not just good for science, but in the liberal arts as well. Particularly if high school was pretty easy for your daughter, she may go running for the hills when she starts taking college sciences classes. Or not. But it's good to have some choices without having to transfer if she finds out she's made a bad choice in majors.
And putting on my travel agent hat, if you can have your daughter at a no-flight-required school, your life is going to be a lot easier and less expensive. Remember luggage isn't free anymore (in most cases) and the airlines are a quirky bunch. I really wouldn't want to rely on the airlines for whether my daughter was going to be home for Christmas or not.
