If she wants to be competitive in volleyball, she needs to go to a division 1 college. The following is the current NCAA rankings of all division 1 schools for women's volleyball.
http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyb...volleyball_rpi
Stanford University has probably been the overall best women's volleyball team for the past 30 years either winning or being runner up to the national title nearly 50% of the time.

Looking at that list, it doesn't seem that they both go hand in hand. Though depends on if any of them specialise in the subjects interested.
If they're a top flight school and you've a good enough sporting record, they will find a way to get you, so always worth a second punt at Stanford.

Has she considered Marshall University? I can't speak to their sports management program, but if she's keen on forensics - it has one of the highest ranked (if not the highest ranked) forensics programs in the US. I work at MU's Forensic Science Center.

No idea about the rest of the place though.

What's the aim here, sport or education?

Re: Area's and Univesitys in usa
I'm working on my PhD at NSU. What would you like to know? It's a lovely campus in a relatively nice area of town. Lots of shops and restaurants. Ft. Lauderdale consolidated its various higher education facilities into an "education corridor", so around NSU there are 4 more universities - all within walking distance of each other. The Miami Dolphins have their training facility at NSU... if she fancies American football. And perhaps best of all, NSU is only about 10 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and some very nice beaches!

going to see what they see id europe first.

Re: Area's and Univesitys in usa
That is the problem. Schools with good budgets for women's volleyball have scouts that travel the US and Europe watching top teams play and evaluate the players. Unfortunately few travel to Australia or NZ so they wouldn't likely see your daughter play and wouldn't be sure of her talent.

Re: Area's and Univesitys in usa
Yeah but it depends on what she wants more. It seems like a full ride and the academics are more important - with volleyball being the vehicle to achieve that. Seems like she has her head screwed on if you ask me.

I think Colorado State in Fort Collins is supposed to be a very beautiful campus and area. Never been myself.
Doesn't U. Nebraska have a good women's volleyball team?
