<p>that's a LAC, somewhat competitive, and in an urban-ish setting. Oh, and I'd like it to be in the Midwest. =P</p>
<p>Have any suggestions? </p>
<p>I absolutely love Kenyon, but I'm afraid that I won't enjoy its really small student body and small town population.</p>
<p>bump. =]</p>
<p>How about Macalester?</p>
<p>Have you considered Oberlin College? Although the city of Oberlin is small, it's about 30 miles from Cleveland.</p>
<p>Maybe Lawrence (WI).</p>
<p>Loyola in Chicago would fit, but you probably do not want the religious connection. U of Rochester would fit, except for the location.</p>
<p>I second Macalester for you.</p>
<p>I third Macalester. Exactly what you are looking for, unless you would consider it to be more than "somewhat" competitive</p>
<p>Not a LAC but University of Dayton, or Case Western (very urban and more competitive).</p>
<p>Macalester came to mind first, and Carleton's just half an hour away from St. Paul.</p>
<p>Lake Forest College near Chicago
College of Wooster, OH
Ohio Wesleyan University, near Columbus</p>
<p>Macalester is in the Twin Cities. Carleton is a short drive away. Both competitive LACs.</p>
<p>Rhodes College in Memphis.</p>
