He might want to consider Brandeis University, in Waltham, Mass., where
I went (still using its e-mail for SHAKSPER and miscellaneous, and still
using their Online Library Database!). They have everything at this
small liberal arts school (last I checked it was, just below NYU -- in
the thirties -- for best schools in the country). They gave me a really
great scholarship, though I was not the best student in high school by a
long shot (I think this had to do with a really creative essay in the
application). The school has science and business, art and theater, a
music program, great literature professors (William Flesch, Thomas King,
Mary-Baine Campbell, Laura Quinney) and history professors (David
Hackett Fischer, William Kappel, Govind Sreenivasan) and is great for
its proximity to Boston, if one ever gets restless.
