<p>"Brown, Dartmouth, Duke, Northwestern, Princeton, Stanford, Tufts, and Penn are the top Unveristies on the list, and the academics would be top-notch, but I'm afraid that there wouldn't be small classes or student-faculty interaction. Is this true? Would any of these be a "fit"?"</p>
<p>Brown, Dartmouth, Duke, Pton, Stanford, Penn, NU - all will provide you with lots of small classes, great faculty interaction, and top notch academics. I know that Duke has a service learning program which sponsors students, and I'm sure the other schools have similar programs.</p>
<p>Tufts is also a great school that focuses on community service a great deal - and of course, Penn State has Thon which is one of the biggest fundraisers in the country (though might not fit any other critera, just giving it a shout out).</p>
