Channing vs Queen's College vs Francis Holland Regent

My DD got offers from the three, (academic scholarship from Queen's, waiting list for academic scholarship from FHRP).

My husband and I adored the vibe at Queen's, and would choose it, but she now says she wants Channing, also because her best friends disliked Queen's. I feel Queen's would be more supportive, relaxed and nurturing, while Channing girls seem more edgy. She is very bright, not particulary driven accademically, fit but not sporty - more of a reader and writer and very sociable. But she also needs structure and a challenge.

It's unlikely any of her current school friends will go with her, wherever she ends up at, so it'd be important to pick up a school less cliquey than others.

Any advice please?

Thanks!

@clevud completely agree, esp about the clubs!

@clevud lol! Spot on!

Another one with DD at Queens - music and pastoral care is exceptional here in case that’s a deciding factor for anyone.
