<p>Can you list some colleges with intense academics, intellectual climate outside of classroom and personal attention.</p>
<p>And strong programs in sciences too.
Thank you.</p>
<p>If you need a lot of personal attention, Harvey Mudd.</p>
<p>Swarthmore comes to mind.</p>
<p>Reed Reed Reed.</p>
<p>Carleton
Chicago
Mudd
Princeton
Reed
Rice
Swarthmore</p>
<p>Swarthmore, rep as the most intensely intellectual campus around. Excellent sciences, beautiful new science facilities, gorgeous campus, low student/faculty ratio with personal attention from the profs.</p>
<p>Chicago, Rice, Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>UChicago is what first came to mind.</p>
<p>The first school I think of when I hear "intense" is definitely U Chicago.</p>
<p>The first I think of when I hear "intellectual atmosphere" is also U Chicago.</p>
<p>Bowdoin. Intellectual + highly personalized. Also Williams, Swarthmore, and Vassar. Places where you learn how to think.</p>
<p>Berkeley...the only thing lacking is "personal attention"...but the opportunities are there.</p>
<p>Reed Swarthmore Uni of Chicago</p>
<p>Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon. If you are a woman, consider Bryn Mawr and Wellesley.</p>
<p>Princeton Review rates Holy Cross' academics at 98, one of the highest scores. 10% of the school's alumni are physicians. The school is midway in its building of a 60 million addition to its science facilities. Holy Cross is one of the nation's top producers of chemistry graduates certified by the American Chemical Society</p>
<p>For personal attention, definitely look at LACs. Those will be your best bet in terms of class sizes.</p>
<p>Examples:
Reed
Harvey Mudd
Pomona
Colorado College
Colgate
Swarthmore
Williams
Bates
Colby
Bowdoin
Vassar
Hamilton</p>
<p>If you extend your list to universities, add MIT and CalTech. Maybe Cornell.</p>
<p>Reed, Harvey Mudd, Bates, Clarkson, Swathmore, Hamilton</p>
<p>My ultimate list looked something like St. John's (not for you), Mudd, Reed, Chicago, Swarthmore.</p>
<p>What about Olin or Cooper Union? I know very little about them, but they're worth looking into.</p>
<p>I'm surprised no one's mentioned Oberlin yet!</p>
<p>CalTech .</p>
