<p>Grinnell! Yay Grinnell!</p>

<p>A few more:</p>

<p>Hamilton
Colgate
Middlebury
Hobart and William Smith
Bard</p>

<p>Bowdoin
Bucknell
Carleton
Hampshire
Kenyon
Princeton, perhaps? Not sure if it would really classify as rural</p>

<p>Not Princeton. Is there anyplace that is rural in New Jersey? (Actually, the answer is yes. Big swaths of Warren County and the Pine Barrens to name two areas. But Princeton is far from rural).</p>

<p>Agree on Hamilton, Colgate, and Grinnell
I would say Colby is more rural than Bowdoin
Knox College is a safer bet</p>

<p>Odd that no one has mentioned Williams College, which is both:</p>

<p>(1) about as selective as a LAC can be
(2) about as a rural and isolated as a LAC can be</p>

<p>Oberlin is pretty rural</p>

<p>I wouldn’t call Bowdoin rural. It’s in a town of 20,000 along a relatively highly populated part of the Maine coast, 20 minutes outside of Portland. It’s considered part of the Portland metropolitan statistical area, which has a population of roughly 500,000.</p>

<p>Williams is rural. So is Middlebury. Grinnell, Carleton, Kenyon, St. Olaf, Luther (Decorah, IA), DePauw (Greencastle, IN), Hamilton, Colgate and Bard are rural. The University of the South-Sewanee is rural, as are Denison (Granville, OH) and Wabash (Crawfordsville, IN). That’s enough.</p>

<p>St. Mary’s College Of Maryland</p>

<p>Bennington, Marlboro, Mount Holyoke…</p>

<p>Colby and Kenyon!</p>

<p>Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA!</p>

<p>Clemson University is a great school in small town South Carolina!</p>

<p>LAC = liberal arts college</p>
