<p>I am interested in applying to schools similar to Wesleyan...liberal arts, no core classes, on the East Coast or in the Tri-State area, intellectual/politically active student body of anywhere from 1,000-5,000 students. Besides Vassar, what schools fit these preferences? </p>
<p>Also, if anyone is familiar with Wesleyan and Vassar, could you please point out the differences between the two institutions?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Hamilton College - LAC. no core, can't remember the number of students 1500-2000?</p>
<p>Some schools that come to mind (of varying selectivity): Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford, Barnard if you are a girl, Bard, Hampshire, Skidmore, Goucher. I really like Skidmore as a safty-ish school for someone who likes Wes and Vassar. Also, Brown and Tufts might be a bit bigger than you want, but are pretty small for unis, and do sharre some traits with Wes (esp. Brown). </p>
<p>PS. For my and other's thoughts on Wes v. Vassar, you might want to check out this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=384262%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=384262</a></p>
