<p>Im looking for a school that has a kind of peaceful serenity to it. Calm and quiet but not boring. Like you can still find a party but if you wanted to just relax and look at the clouds you could but also if you wanted to have fun you could. Is there such a place.</p>

<p>There are many places like that. You'll need to narrow it down a bit more for specific suggestions. What are your stats? What else is important to you? Give us soemthing to go on.</p>

<p>john6391 - A friend was looking for something similar and found it at Knox College in Illinois. Admission might be a stretch, but it is ACT optional.</p>

<p>I think you should look into small rural liberal arts colleges :)</p>

<p>Go west. </p>

<p>One place with that serene vibe is Lewis and Clark College in suburban Portland. Lib arts with a strong emphasis on international studies. Very peaceful, green campus, nestled in the woods almost like a resort complete with babbling brooks and footbridges, etc. About</a> Lewis & Clark College</p>

<p>Also in Oregon, look at Willamette University, which has a beautiful campus with a creek running through it that students use for tube lounging. More traditional atmosphere than L & C, which is more "crunchy," and it has a frat scene which LC does not. Very service oriented. Community</a> Service Learning - Willamette University</p>

<p>Wow this is arbitrary and subjective. Anyway, a lot of larger schools have areas that are considered "calm and peaceful". University of Wisconsin has the lakeshore area with this reputation. I think that this label is all in the mind of the beholder. Good luck with whatever you choose.</p>

<p>Take a look at Kalamazoo College. It would be a high reach/match depending on everything else about you, but I think you would like it.</p>

<p>Earlham College</p>

<p>Maybe try a school like Eckerd in FL. It's an LAC that sits right on the waterfront. Most students there are from out of state.</p>
