<p>For lac's Denison and Kenyon have terrific d-3 swimming programs and great academics. Denison gives alot of merit aid especially to prospective swimmers. It's only 27 miles from Columbus OH and has a large number of NJ
students on campus. Kenyon is a little more isolated and more intense academically.</p>

<p>What kind of college major/program are you looking for? What are you interested in doing once you graduate college? If you give us some ideas then we can suggest which schools would best fit you.</p>

<p>Perhaps you might be interested in Bowdoin College. It is a top notch small liberal arts college. It is especially know for having best college food in the country (according to princeton review), small class size, fabulous professors, and a high success rate of getting its students into top med, law, and business schools. Bowdoin is located only about two and half hours away from Boston.</p>
