<p>Villanova, Bucknell, Holy Cross. Holy Cross has very strong Classics/Latin program and several alumni in Congress-1 Senator, 3-4 Congressmen, 1 Supreme Court Justice. Bucknell has nice campus but more rural.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that a true safety is also a school that your know FOR SURE that you’ll have all costs covered as well as getting accepted.</p>
<p>Will your parents pay for wherever you go? If money is an issue, then you probably should include schools that will give merit scholarships for your stats.</p>
<p>What else do you want in a school? Quiet/nerdy? Spirited/big sports? Greeks? Rural campus? City campus?</p>
