<p>Does anyone have a list of small public colleges with less than 5k undergrads?</p>
<p>Is cost a major factor? Because really, public and small are kinda diametrically opposed unless the campus is specialized or new. If cost is not a major factor, consider LACs.</p>
<p>William & Mary</p>
<p>I don't know that this list is comprehensive, but you might try the members of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC):</p>

<p>Some of these, like New College of Florida, College of Charleston (South Carolina), Truman State (Missouri), and the University of Minnesota-Morris have very good reputations. Not only are they quite inexpensive for in-state residents, but many also provide generous merit aid to OOS residents. For example, Minnesota-Morris automatically awards a full tuition scholarship to any National Merit Finalist who selects Minnesota-Morris as their first choice school, and has additional automatic scholarships based on class rank or other indicators.</p>
<p>St. Mary's College of Maryland. </p>
<p>(Don't confuse this with Mount St. Mary's, which is private and also in Maryland.)</p>
<p>Suny Geneseo and University of Mary Washington and Christopher Newport both in VA.</p>
<p>The College of William and Mary, University of Mary Washington, Christopher Newport University....................all three GREAT schools.</p>
<p>College of New Jersey.</p>
<p>UNC-Asheville</p>
<p>Thanks all. It seems like "public" and "large" almost always go together. Hence, this thread. I was thinking of Colorado School of Mines, New Mexico Tech, U of Missouri S&T (Rolla) as examples.<br>
We prefer small schools and OOS publics don't usually have very good aid, so were mainly considering privates. Just wanted to expand the list to include high quality publics that were small as well. These don't have to be LACs. Of course satellite campuses to the state flagship can sometimes be pretty small too, so please exclude very low ranked satellites.</p>
<p>Large publics are willing to offer the same small classes and direct contact with professors, staff and all your fellow students through honors programs and upper-level cohort programs.</p>
