My daughter (who has the highest GPA in her private school junior class) has been getting at least daily mailings from well-known colleges as well as many we haven't heard of. We immediately toss the ones that emphasize diversity over learning - I think the Wellesley (sp?) one was the worst. It's almost like looking at an Onion satire some are so bad - the aforementioned Wellesley flyer had photos of just about every "type" except blondes, though it was hard to tell if the crew-cutted dyke type had blonde hair or not.

We were hoping to find a West Coast school for her (cheaper flights home at least) but so far her searches for architecture programs on that coast are way left of anything we'd consider (one school, UCLA I think, emphasized their bringing a "political" view to the field, and I don't think they meant our brand of politics).

Consider the University of Texas or Texas A&M. She will receive a good quality education, at a reasonable cost, without nearly so much PC stuff.

I haven't checked it out personally, but I have heard some good things about Pepperdine.

As you very well know, it is difficult to avoid the liberal monopoly on higher education. And, as I am also sure you know as a Freeper, a well-prepared kid can withstand the onslaught. Two of my kids have already graduated college (one's a Freeper; my Cornell graduate is a staunch Republican young woman). There aren't many places worse than Cornell.

I'm sure yours will do fine.
