<p>anybody know of any? since i'd like to pursue writing, i feel i'd really benefit from the close knit atmosphere at lacs. but, are there any universities that might also share this close knit atmosphere? so far all i've got on my list is swarthmore college, which I know will be very difficult, so i need some more schools. i feel like my personality is suited for swarthmore, so also was wondering if there are any schools similar to swarthmore in regards to atmosphere or student body, etc. thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Oberlin is great for writing (30% acceptance for transfers), Smith and Wellesley are around 30%. Wesleyan is 35%. Grinnell is 25%. Those all have among the highest transfer acceptance rates in the top-20 LACs. Reed is about 40%. Oberlin and Wesleyan are similar to Swarthmore in the sense that they have very progressive student bodies. Wellesley and Reed are similar to Swarthmore in the sense that they have serious student bodies. No place is exactly like Swarthmore.</p>
