<p>Can anyone think of a NE school (or near there) that has a great classics dept? GPA, tests and extra-curriculars aren't really a problem, but scholarships would be nice</p>
<p>There's plenty. Would you prefer a suburban college like Bowdoin or a college in a bustling metropolis like Penn? Would you prefer the 50,000 students of Penn State or the 1200 of Haverford? More info yields better suggestions.</p>
<p>I've got kick-ass legacy at Bowdoin, but I'd like something out of ME, but a small college is a total must</p>

<p>Heh, choices… thanks sooooooooo much</p>
<p>If you want a school with an amazing Classics Dept take a look at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. My daughter is a sophmore Classics major there. Work is tough but doable. I believe it's the largest Classics dept anywhere with Harvard PhD's for professors. Go on the Holy Cross website for scholarship info.
Good Luck</p>
<p>Thanks! I've gotten info from them, but never really checked it out… I'll make sure to now though!</p>
