<p>My daughter is at Virginia Intermont College. She could have gone to a stronger academic environment, but they offer Equine Science as a major and are one of the few schools that offer Photo as a major and not an art concentration. Small school, riding team has won nationals last 2 or 3 years, nice equestian facility and she could take her own horse. Don't know Jewish pop., but know 2 of her close friends are Jewish. Lacks academic prestige, but very artsy and good for those kinda offbeat majors. Everyone in horse world knows VI. Students from all over--her friends from CA, Alaska, D.C., Florida, England, and Puerto Rico. I know you said money not a prob., but they give good merit scholarships just based on gpa. Definately liberal.</p>
<p>Elon may be a good choice too. Strong dept. from what I hear in some of the arts. (my son was business) Has intercollegiate equestrian team, but I haven't seen the facilities.</p>
