You should look at Clark University, it is test optional and near other schools in Worcester, the second largest city in New England.
Other Catholic schools to look at would be Siena, St. Michael’s, St. Anselm, Canisius and St. Bonaventure. St. Michael’s is in Burlington, VT so its hard to find a better location than that. St. Anslem is near Portsmouth, NH, really nice seaside town.
