best schools in the midwest/great plains/pastoral areas

<p>thanks for the suggestions; i’ve been hearing the name ‘carleton’ a lot on threads. i might have to look into that. </p>

<p>no, it doesn’t have to be midwest necessarily. but i’m already applying to several in the east so i was looking for a little variety. but yeah, any suggestions of eastern schools in scenic areas would be great too!</p>
