I'd plug Penn State here out of obligation but I really don't think it's what you're looking for. Research opportunities abound, but our English program isn't well known for much (although we do have a number of good relationships with different companies for internships) and we lack diversity. Seriously. It's gotten better but it is such a small town kind of feel, and despite there being 40,000 students, it is very much a two degrees of separation type place. But some of your other choices look great. Best of luck to you in your search!

I'm (obviously) gonna' plug Penn State because if you are looking for opportunities, it has a lot to offer. It's well-ranked and there was an article a while back that said, of all (non-New York school) college graduates represented in New York City, Penn State was the MOST represented Alumni Association. I'm partial to the blue and white--especially for THON (Penn State's Dance Marathon--The Largest Student-Run Philanthropy in the WORLD)...
If your daughter is looking for more of an urban feel, Penn State will not be her cup of tea. Once again, I'm going to plug (obviously) another school I'm well acquainted with---Syracuse University. Actually, if you check it out on the Best Colleges site, it is ranked well and students who look at SU also look at PSU. The added benefit of Syracuse University: It is the home of 3 Alpha Chapters, to include AGD!!! Gotta' love the Syracuse Triad....Just a thought!
