Mary,
Students often form a strong personal reponse to campus and program. I recommend you visit the colleges that your daughter is interested in. Try to schedule your visit when you can get a tour of the campus, an overview of the school, and an interview with someone in the department. It is common to have students visit with their parents once or twice if the school is nearby.
I can say a lot of good things about Rutgers…and, since I am the Department Chair of Landscape Architecture at Rugers, I have a particular interest in recruiting promising students. Please come see for yourself.
You might consider coming to Cook Campus on April 25 since there is a campus open house that day. http://agfieldday.rutgers.edu/
