Colleges/towns similar to Brown/Providence

Now that I’ve figured out the very difficult task of posting this in the right place: I’m a high school senior who’s spent my entire life in Providence and love it. I’ve got the credentials to go to Brown and the like, but Brown is Brown so I’m looking for backups/matches that could give me the same atmosphere of being in a town like the east side of Providence while still being academically rigorous and beautiful. I’m planning on staying east coast and money is a pretty big determinant but as of now I’m open to basically any suggestions. Thanks!

Wesleyan/Middletown, Holy Cross/Worcester, Tufts/Medford, Clark/Worcester.

UVM/Burlington, if you’re female: smith/Northampton, possibly Amherst bc it’s in a cute town that looks like the east side of providence. I second tufts…it’s the most like brown in MA. If you were willing to leave the east coast: WUSTL /st.louis, northwestern/Evanston. Also, Macalaster/Minneapolis, which would be a match.

Maybe Emory?
