<p>UW-Madison is a match OOS. It’s a great school featuring a strong sports and party/fun atmosphere. Looking at your list, with respect to the other schools, UW is the most academically well-rounded… maybe along with BU. But UW has more national and international prestige. </p>
<p>If you want the LAC type experience, Mount Holyoke is the clear choice among the schools you’ve listed.</p>
<p>You mentioned Social Work. My dad got his BS in Psych and then MS degrees in Social Work and Health Care Admin from the University of Wisconsin. He’s done very well.</p>
