<p>Take a look at Whitman College, a great LAC. I consider it a hidden gem because it's a wonderful school that doesn't get enough recognition on CC.

These are its Princeton Review 2013 rankings compiled from surveys completed by students at the top few hundred colleges and universities in the US:</p>
