LACs

<p>Anyone can help me discover LACs with listed features? Thank you very much</p>

<p>1 rich schools, relatively large campus
2 diversity
3 gd writing, history, eco, international relations and eco department
4 Science should not be too bad
5 Reputation and prestige should be GD
6 Good chance for interships and employment, not too rural</p>

<p>As I am a gal, haha, it is OK to recommend Women's school ~</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna, Rhodes, Macalester, Bowdoin, Amherst, Davidson</p>

<p>How abt Swarthmore?</p>

<p>Smith fits all your criteria - except that it doesn't seem "rich." (But by LAC standards, I think it is.) Through their Praxis program, they guarantee every undergraduate one paid internship by supplying a $2000 grant. It is one of the largest LAC schools, at 2600 students, and definitely the largest all-women's school in the country. It borders downtown Northampton, which can be described as a small New England city. As for diversity, Smith is improving ethnic diversity, but it's real diversity comes from its support of underprivileged students. It enrolls the largest percentage of Pell grant holders in the nation. I don't know about the history department, but I know the government department has some great professors. Because it is a socially aware and (yes) liberal campus, one of the most popular majors is political science/government. When you say "writing," do you mean creative writing? My d. sat in on a creative nonfiction class last spring, and thought it was fantastic. (She is trying to get into advanced short stories next semester.) The advantage of Smith is that, after the first year, you can take courses at Amherst, UMass, Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire if what you want isn't offered at Smith. The same holds true at the other colleges, of course. If you want to PM me, I can give you more information.</p>

<p>I don't know about Wellesley. The two women I know who attend it aren't thrilled with it. </p>

<p>I second Amherst and Claremont McKenna. You might also want to look at Wesleyan.</p>

<p>-conn college guarantees students $3000 funded internships
-750 acre campus
-excellent for IR and humanities
-rapidly increasing diversity (16% domestic students of color, 4% international students)</p>

<p>Smith really calls out; Wellesley might be worth considering as well. Both are wealthy by women's college standards and have wonderful academic reputations and good name recognition.</p>

<p>Another vote for CMC...possibly Pomona, as well (<a href="http://www.claremont.edu)%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.claremont.edu)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>
