Ah, I did over interpret you. Sorry about that. I now read you as saying you don’t mind a college with some GenEd distribution requirements so long as they don’t fall into the Core Curriculum category, like Columbia.
I think you would like Wesleyan. The problem with finding other schools like it is that they would all be smaller by quite a bit. For example, Amherst and Wesleyan have a lot in common, but Amherst at 1800, is quite a bit smaller. So are Colby, Bowdoin and Bates. Vassar at 2400 is a popular overlap with Wesleyan.
