Spaw, how closely have you looked at Antioch lately??

I went there probably at its lowest point (in enrollment and endowment, certainly) in the early 80's, and from all I can see they've really pulled their act together. I have one friend from the time who believes it was a waste, though it doesn't seem to be hindering him now. For me it was just the thing. There's _nothing_ at any other school that can compare with the amount of real-world time that you spend on co-ops in the course of getting a degree (interspersed, of course, with the unique environment of the campus). If your daughter's looking at Antioch then she's got the literature with the good stats -- a very high proportion of graduate degrees achieved by Antiochians, excellent ratings in the National Survey of Student Engagement, etc., etc.

I was the kind of kid who didn't want to consider Antioch because my mother went there and she wanted me to go there -- as I get older I realize more and more how wise my mother's been... ;-)
