I realize I'll be branded for life on GC for writing this, but I would love for my daughter to consider Hillsdale College in Michigan. I don't think it will be her cup of tea as she is more of the artsy, dreamer type. But she would get a great education there.

I did the Big Ten thing and loved it. I was so ready to get onto a large campus and carve my own niche after being in a smaller high school. However, I do find the smaller liberal arts colleges really intriguing and would want her to explore both options. Big schools and smaller schools both have a lot to offer. It just depends on what you want.

She's an only child so I would really like to see her find a sorority home and sisters through that experience. Unfortunately there is only one Tri Delta chapter in our state and the university falls into the "over my dead body" category. I've already resigned myself to the fact that it's pretty unlikely she will be a Tri Delta someday.

My cousin is a Pi Phi from Hillsdale.

We would have loved any of our kids to go to Nebraska, and our second daughter considered it, but honestly....I'm not sure how they would've fit in. I loved every single minute of it, but I was from a town of 200 people in Nebraska and Lincoln felt like heaven every day compared to that. My kids grew up in metro Atlanta, in Southern culture raised by Midwestern parents. Not sure if that would've worked for them. And they're all a bunch of hothouse flowers, so I don't see them lasting a week in a Nebraska winter.

The girls went to GT and are glad they did, but will be the first ones to tell you that the first word you think of when you think Tech is not FUN. It's hard and demanding everybody is pretty driven.

On the other hand, my son is at Ole Miss. That's some kind of fun. I'd go there in a minute if I could!
