<p>Hi, Ive been doing a lot of college research and this of course has pointed me to the schools of the NESCAC. I was wondering if I gave some of you familiar people some info, you could tell me what schools seem good (assuming the right GPA, SATs, E.Cs etc.)</p>

<p>I am currently a male high school junior from Florida. I do have the minority hook(Iranian). I also probably wont be needing financial aid(if that helps). I am highly interested in majoring in physics, so a good physics program would be good. I want an intellectual atmosphere, but I also love sports, but not the drinking that comes with sports. City or rural, doesnt really matter. Neither does size. Although a big name could be nice, I honestly dont care. A beautiful campus is also a plus. So overall, friendly students, great physics (and academics overall), and just the overall atmosphere of the school are most important.
At first I thought Bowdoin, Williams, or Midd, but you forum junkies probably know more than I do. Thanks!</p>

<p>Williams, Middlebury, and Bowdoin are among the best liberal arts colleges in the country. You could expect to find a friendly atmosphere, smart jocks, and great undergraduate physics programs at all three schools.</p>

<p>Williams physics majors have won several Apker</a> Awards in recent years (1999, 2002, and 2004). The Apker is a national prize awarded by the APS for undergraduate research in physics. Williams has been particularly successful of late, but I expect that other NESCAC schools have won Apkers too.</p>
