Tell your mother to rethink Cornell. It, like Colorado College in Co. Springs uses the 'one class at a time' method of education. I know people who have gone thru that system and they have an impressive education. It's not a good reason to exclude the school.

Earlham is a Quaker college with an excellent reputation.


A very good friend of mine who lives in Franklin, In, sent both his sons to Hanover. One just graduated and the other transferred in as a sophomore after attending the University of Oklahoma, Norman for his freshman year. I don't know much about the school, but both his boys are very sharp. If you want to talk to them, I can probably get their e-mail addresses.

However, if I lived in Indiana, I'd really be trying to get my kid to go to school in Boston, NY, San Francisco, LA, Chicago, London, Paris, Barcelona or Frankfurt, probably for the same reasons you were looking East.
Make sure you look outside the country also. University of Toronto is great. I don't know how they deal with US transfer students, but I sent one of my students there and she ended up with a great job at a publisher in NYC.
