Jeff,
Good questions, and actually a nice dilemma to be in.
A question for you: What are the chances of serious scholarship aid from College A?
I sent two children to expensive private colleges, which were great for each of them. I don't regret it, though the cost has been --and continues to be--onerous. I wanted the best for them.
From what you've written, I'll surmise that your intelligent and highly motivated daughter will be more challenged by the company she keeps at College A. That's a strong reason to consider it, as long as the music program works for her.
Will she find the same atmosphere, the same social and intellectual climate, at College C? Perhaps good music departments sustain that kind of atmosphere. In which case, the current economy would weight heavily in favor of C.
In my view, the boyfriend isn't part of the discussion. And I will gladly cede to you the task of conveying that view, should it become necessary.
All good wishes on your/her quest. In the end, if the program she's seeking is right for her, she'll be fine wherever she goes. I can say that from experience.
Chuck
