<p>if you know any schools that have those features, tell me!
oh and they cant outright reject me so here's some basic stats:
intl( Canadian in China)
IB student
SAT I: 2190 or 1490/1600 verbal: 750 math: 740 writing:700</p>
<p>Bowdoin, Macalaster, and Carlton come to mind immediately. Bowdoin is in Maine and the other two are in Minnesota. You have a lot to choose from with those criteria. You could also go for Amherst, Williams, Middlebury, Kalamazoo,.... Pretty much all of the top LAC's have popular econ programs and small classes.</p>
<p>Well, UChicago is very, very cold and has a great economics department, along with a good student-faculty ratio.</p>

<p>Depends what kind of economics you are thinking about and how much snow you want. Swarthmore produces more future Economics PhDs per graduate than any college or university in the country, has extremely small classes, and gets some snow each winter (but not Siberian in climate). Other schools might have more of a business focus.</p>
<p>Alexandre's list is a pretty good starting point, although I question a few of his recommendations (NYU?) in terms of class sizes.</p>
<p>Dartmouth, Williams, Chicago, Rochester, Middlebury, Carleton, Macalaster, and Bowdoin all have extremely harsh, long winters.</p>
<p>northwestern, uchicago
chicago is very cold!!</p>
<p>please don't double post! same thread in Parent's forum and college search</p>
<p>compared to all the LACs, NYU, Northwestern are not small classes.</p>
<p>Those of you who list schools in Massachusetts, Ohio, and the Chicago, New York, Boston and Philly metro areas obviously are not from Wisconsin. We Badgers wouldn't bother to bring a coat. :)</p>
<p>I'll tip my hat to the schools in Maine, the New England and New York interiors, Minnesota and the Michigan southwest snowbelt (Kalamazoo). Those folks might actually know what winter is. </p>
<p>There's an old joke around here about the southern Wisconsin farmer who noticed a surveyor on his property one crisp fall day. "Say fella, what are you doing there?" the farmer asks. "Well sir, it turns out your property is actually in Illinois." "Thank God" replies the farmer, "I didn't think I could make it through another Wisconsin winter!"</p>
<p>And back to the topic, take a look, therefore, at Beloit and Lawrence.</p>
<p>What about Syracuse University? The city of Syracuse gets more snow than any city of 100,000 or more people in the United States (yes, more than Buffalo and Rochester) and is located in one of the snowiest regions in the lower 48.</p>
<p>There's an economics program (BA, BA/MA combined, BA/MBA combined) here at SUNY Buffalo, I can't tell you how small the classes are, but usually large lecture hall classes are chained to smaller discussion sections of 30 people led by teacing assistants called recitations where students get help on their assignments, take quizzes, or review for exams. </p>
<p>As for snow we hadn't had much since the October Surprise Snowstorm dumped 30 inches of wet, tree splitting snow on the city, and caused many power outages throughout the area. Okay, snowstorms of that magnitude are rare, but usually it starts snowing in early November and doesn't stop until early April. Plus, your home country of Canada is a 30 minute drive away from campus!</p>

<p>jason4444,</p>
<p>We do read your posts, and once is enough.</p>
<p>dartmouth and chicago immediately come to midn</p>
<p>As a Philly native, I can tell you that it doesn't get that cold here. We'll get one or two blizzards in January and February, but that's it. Don't go here for the "cold."</p>
