<p>PP, I would say in general that the selective LACs all encourage creative thinking within a rigorous academic context. They have similar academic approaches but different cultures and physical environments.</p>
<p>I’d suggest you take a look at Williams. Among the top ranked LACs Williams gets highest marks for equal attention to math/science, social studies *and *the arts – music, art, theater. In fact it’s fairly common for students to double or even triple major in disparate disciplines. Admissions favors students who are multifaceted – the artist/intellecual/athlete is a common phenomenon.</p>
<p>My son who is a Williams grad (art studio and art history) is now in architecture school. I’d say he well fulfills your idea of a creative intellectual. </p>
<p>Your horse would like it too.</p>
