Carleton
Middlebury
W&M
Vanderbilt

Wisconsin-distant last</p>
<p>I just picked somewhat at random:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bowdoin</li>
<li>Middlebury</li>
<li>Carleton/Colgate</li>
<li>Amherst</li>
<li>Colby (this is the one i don't know much about)</li>
<li>Will&Mary</li>
<li>Vanderbilt</li>
<li>Hamilton</li>
<li>Wisconsin</li>
</ol>
<p>I really don't understand why Wisc was included in this list of preppy, mostly east coast, liberal arts oriented schools. An attempt at diversity? Hehe... Never thought Wisc would be on the other end of the diversity stick.</p>
<p>All jokes aside, Wisconsin is the only one that has my major (nursing) and has the most options for other students to explore their interests.</p>
<p>My second choices would be Colgate and Middlebury for their foreign language programs.</p>
<p>William & Mary(awesome academics, perfect size, mix of nerds/jocks, beautiful campus)
Middlebury(amazing academics, good social aspects, awesome campus)
Colgate (same...good athletics)
Wisconsin (great school if your looking for the big-school college life,
Vanderbilt (good size, athletics, Tennesse???)
Colby (sweet location, academics, pretty small...)
Amherst(too small...
Bowdoin (same as above)
Carlton (dont know much about it)
Hamilton(didn't like the feel around campus)</p>
<p>Colgate

<li>Colby - greatest campus ever</li>
<li>Bowdoin - a lil to hippie</li>
<li>William and Mary</li>
<li>Hamilton - not at all as good as Colgate - unfortuante location</li>

</ol>
<ol>

<p>I'm amazed that someone could list Middlebury above Amherst and claim this to be because Amehrst is "too small". Amherst is in a vibrant community of 25,000+ students, not rural Vermont. I'm not a Middlebury student but I'd bet my bottom dollar that it feels ten times more claustropobic as Amherst.</p>

<p>Same here, but interestingly enough, I did not apply to Amherst or anywhere else on the list. Now, I regret not applying to Amherst - it happens.</p>

<p>I try not to let US News' rankings tell me which college I prefer to another. And get a freakin' dictionary.</p>
<p>im jsut saying, nothing to do with USNEWWS but middlebury and amherst are pretty clsoe in everythign - unlike wisconsin</p>

<p>One, Middlebury (especially when I was applying) was also borderline too small for me, but Amherst at the time was even smaller at ~ 400 students per class. Two, I really wanted a rural school, and wasn't concerned about a 'vibrant community with 25,000 students'. Amherst is still only ~ 1,800 students now and the impression I get from friends that went there was that they had minimal contact with students from other the colleges in the area.</p>
<p>middlebury is amaing - i can understand gellino</p>
<p>yup....2rd bestin my opinion ahah</p>
