Just teasing ;-)

I don't suppose Baylor is really a good choice for someone hoping to sharpen their leftist perspective!

Actually I put a lot of work and thought into college selection for my youngest son (the older boys knew what they wanted) and worked with a group of his friends to refine their choices and pursue admission/scholarships. After seeing their efforts, and the results (they've all graduated now). I'd have to say the most important thing is to find a school that you can afford to keep her in for the next 4 to 6 years! The next thing I'd suggest is that you find US News and World's Report on the Top 100 Colleges. They update this excellent refernce every year. It has lots of valuable info on each college like; how does your daughter's SAT/ACT scores match up with the average entering freshman scores? I would take this match as an important factor - yes, you/she could choose to accept the challenge of being behind the academic curve, and she may do well; but I would not accept that challenge without careful consideration. They also include student/instructor ratios, racial make up, male/female ratios and other social factors that may interest you.

This reference coupled with info you get here and more in depth materials from the Univs themselves will give you a good picture.

Good luck to you both. By the way, my sister-in-law teaches at Goddard (VT). I'm sure your daughter would enjoy the place - if she enjoys the Northern New England winter ('cause they get a lot of it)!
