Boston isn't a big bad city and she'd probably do just fine there, but
I think something along the lines of what Yestermorrow has to offer
might be preferable. http://www.yestermorrow.org/courses.htm They're
located in northern Vermont and have a superb staff. Art Schaller, a
design professor for 30 years at Ball State, is a square guy.
http://www.yestermorrow.org/instructors/schaller.htm Call
Yestermorrow and get his email/phone and ask him directly for his
opinion.
And don't worry about the 14,000 population thing - Warren, VT has a
bit over one tenth of that number but they're okay with "big city"
girl's like your daughter. ;)
