<p>At any one of those schools you can find a level of class that will give you a challenge in any field.</p>
<br>
<p>If you want a good academic experience in the humanities and social sciences, you need to have decent class discussions. Simply taking a 300-level class is not the issue. If no one in the class cares, or has anything of interest to say, or understood the reading, or bothered to do the reading, class is going to be painful, and all your learning is going to take place at home with your books -- which you could have borrowed from the library for free. So unless you think it's OK for all your classes in literature or political science to be lectures, you should care about who's in that class with you. I had great professors at Bryn Mawr and I was still bored to death in class.</p>
