I didn't really have any specific region in mind, no. I used College Board's Big Future college search tool to find universities that met my criteria (stuff like coed, mostly residential, freshman housing guaranteed, with philosophy and political science majors), which gave me a list of about 60 colleges. From there I cut out those with student-faculty ratios of more than 12:1, then narrowed it down to schools with fairly wide-open core curricula (requiring a class from a group rather than specific classes). That resulted in a list of about 5 schools, and we visited 2 of them that were in the same area as 3 my sister was interested in. I hate PowerPoint too. The only thing worse is Prezi.
