Wooster and Denison have similar vibes to Willamette (have many family connections at the first two and S is going to attend Willamette this fall so we’ve had lengthy visits); btw, I think Willamette is very strong in the basic sciences and applied math, but I don’t have in-depth familiarity. Denison has slightly higher academic stats than Wooster and Willamette, but all are good places that provide their ~2K students with much personal attention, and pull widely from across the US. Compared to Denison, Wooster would be more tolerant of lower interest in sports and frats (it has always had only local “sections” or clubs that are much more low-key that the national frats), and has more international students. As far as the “quirky” factor, if Reed has potential for you, Earlham would feel similar (partly rooted in its Quaker history of tolerance), as well as Oberlin in Ohio.
