Several of those aren't even in the same class; and the campus of each is vastly different. As reputation goes, UNC-CH and William and Mary are considerably ahead of the others (my opinion) and those are two examples of widely different campus life. She needs to visit each college she's seriously considering and see if she feels comfortable there. She also needs to consider whether each of these teaches the major she's most interested in. CoC for example is a great school with a fantastic reputation in SC - but it's not good if you want to major in Oceanography because that's not a major option. With this list too, she will need to decide if she wants a more liberal arts foundation or professional foundation. Places like William and Mary, CofC, or JMU are liberal arts based colleges - UT and UNC-CH have serious research facilities available. Narrow down some on specific criteria. Big city or small town. Big campus or intimate setting. Urban campus or out away from everyone? Closer to which big cities? Good luck.
