Liberal Arts College Visits

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I live in New York (near Rochester) and am planning on going to some college visits. I'm not exactly sure what I want career-wise, so I'm looking at Liberal Arts colleges. Can anyone recommend some schools that I should visit?</p>

<p>I've already seen Tufts, Amherst, Colgate, Oberlin,Brandeis, Williams, and Boston College. I really liked Tufts and Amherst (although I'm not exactly sure why)</p>

<p>I'm looking for a smaller school, don't care much about location or social scene, want strong academics and cost is an issue.</p>

<p>Can anyone recommend some LACs in the Northeast area for a visit this Spring?</p>

<p>most Northeast LACs are expensive. Check out Vassar, Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Hamilton. Some less selective schools with good academics would be: Bard, Conn College, Skidmore, Sarah Lawerence.</p>

<p>I know you specifically mentioned the northeast, but if you are willing to go an equal distance the OTHER direction, you might also want to check out Allegheny, Dennison, Wooster, Oberlin, Kenyon, and CMU.</p>

<p>a great trip would be to see the connecticut trifecta of trinity, then drive 30 minutes to wesleyan, and then 30 minutes to conn college.</p>

<p>Holy Cross - one hour from Boston- very good LAC with strong merit/financial aid program.</p>

<p>Did you check Endicott? i believe it's outside Boston, near Salem. And I'm pretty sure it's a Liberal Arts school. . . might want to double check that thought.</p>
