If you're looking for reputation rankings, you should look at the US News and World Reports annual rankings.  If, however, that doesn't mean much to you, then you're in my boat and wondering by what measure should we determine what is the best school?\n\nThe best way to judge for yourself is to visit the campus and talk to people there - formally (the public face) and informally (the face you'll get without admissions office control).  For example, talk to some students at random in the union.\n\nBeing from Ohio, I know a bit more about Ohio Wesleyan.  My POV is that, as a private school, it was not Harvard and I had the opportunity to go to Harvard.  If I was going to pay that much, I might as well have attended Harvard, so OW was off my list.  I have a tough time imagining who would attend outside of Ohio kids that had lots of money but were not bright enough to be admitted to Miami Univerisity, Oberlin, or Kenyon (back when I was searching) or OSU (today).  Maybe there is some specialization that draws people there like Oberlin draws music and arts students, but I don't know anything about it.  Basically, OW wasn't even in my list of places to consider.  Perhaps some things have changed in the last 15 years or perhaps not, but no new news has prompted me to change my opinion.  I made a point of visiting quite a few universities when I was searching in 1990.  I probably visited OWU, but I don't recall.  It had that much of an impression on me.  In the meantime, Harvard, Yale, Oberlin, Kenyon, Baldwin Wallace, Maimi U, OSU, and some schools in SE Michigan DID make an impression on me and I still wonder if some of them would have been a better choice.  As it was though, I made the decision based on finding a program that was relatively unique and that I found very attractive so that it wasn't the university, but the degree program that won me over.

Private schools:\n\nOberlin College in Ohio is a top tier school that is generally well known for the creative arts.\n\nBaldwin-Wallace College is well-known for music.\n\nI don't know much about it myself, but Pamona College, CA has some strong programs.\n\nPublic schools (I'm from Ohio):\n\nMiami University and Bowling Green State University are leading competitors in these areas.  Although Miami (my alma matter) may be better overall, it seems to me BGSU has put more investment into music, writing, and education while Miami has strong programs in business, education, and interdisciplinary studies.  Both schools have some "party school" reputations though (don't they all?).\n\n\nOther options:\n\nCambridge and Oxford in England might also be great choices if you have huge wads of money to burn...\n\nMusic conservatories may exist in major cities that I don't know about... Bound to be a great one in NYC, London, etc.

Macleans ranked St. Francis Xavier University number one overall in 2004 and again in 2005.  I don't know about fine arts, but if it is best overall, you have to think the fine arts has to be good too.  \n\nGo to the link and you can search around the different top ranked Canadian schools updated to last spring.  The fall rankings are just coming out, it is a good idea to pick up the Macleans issue.

You should try PrincetonReview.com.  They have a search engine that narrows down a list of schools based on the geographic region, majors, financial aid, etc. that you want.  Good luck!

Middlebury and Bennington are the best colleges in Vermont.\nBoth are highly selective, and applicants should be in the top tenth of their class, have outstanding SAT scores and GPAs, superb letters of recommendation, and special qualities or skills that set them apart from the crowd.\n\nUVM (University of Vermont) is also a great school, and while still selective in terms of admission, will admit students with slightly lower GPAs and SATs.\n\nBest wishes to your niece.

Barbizon School of Modeling blows them both out of the water!!! \n\nJoking... I would prefer University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne... It's a great school and the extra-curricular activities are great.... Plus Chicago is not too far away... I loved it when I visited there while I was in college....
