LAC recommendations for lover of language, linguistics, music
Answered

My grandson loves language, has read several books on linguistics as well as researching European language history on the internet. He sings in a choir, mostly in Latin. At the same time, he is very outdoorsy and completing Eagle Scout. It seems like Middlebury is a good fit but a far reach. His GPA is 3.75. What other schools would you recommend that he look at?
