help me find a school in the northeast?

<p>hi, so, after a long college search i've found not one school i'd wholeheartedly love to go to, i want to major in early childhood education. I'd like to stay in new england, i had my heart set on salve, but upon reading some things on here and otehr reviewing websites, ive decided teh school is not for me.
criteria for schools of interest
-small (like really small, 2,000 or less preferably)
- a lot of school spirit and campus activities
- not too strict on partying
- decent academic reputation</p>

<p>i have a GPA of a 2.5, unweighted.
and i am waiting to get my SAT scores back</p>

<p>schools on my list already are:
Anna Maria
Assumption
URI
Salve
Western New England
Nichols</p>

<p>any opinions on the above would be greatly appreciated as well as any suggestions, thanks so much!</p>

<p>If you extend your search area a little you could look into Misericordia University in Dallas, PA or Centenary College in Hackettstown, NJ.</p>
