<p>Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes I am a female and no I have not considered an all female college nor do I really plan on it. I hate to be close minded about it, but I really don’t think an all female college would be a good idea for me. I can entertain the idea for a little while though. Please excuse my ignorance as I don’t know all of the shorthand names for colleges, but is “Conn College” short for Conneticut College?</p>
<p>Reed, Kenyon, Denison, Grinell, St. Olaf, Maclester, Carelton and Oberlin aren’t the locations I’m looking for. Would’ve been smart of me to specify location to begin with, eh? Bowdoin’s location isn’t settling well with me either.</p>
<p>I like a diverse group, which is what worries me about smaller schools. I did say that a small school would be great for in class discussions, but I would really like diversity. I don’t want to be at a small school with people who have very similar views in life… no fun for discussions. As for location, I’d like to be near a city, but near the country to keep a horse. I can’t have everything I want though.</p>
<p>I’m going to look some more into Swarthmore, Haverford, Bard, Ithaca, Muhlenberg, Lafayette, and Moravian. </p>
<p>Ooh, ooh, ooh… quote regarding Sarah Lawrence “The one-of-a-kind curriculum gives you the freedom to choose what you want to learn and how you want to learn it.” That’s me. I really like the idea of being able to tailor the curriculum to my needs. I just worry about rigor. I really need intellectual stimulation alone, in the classroom, and with others. I just looked it up, they’re called non traditional schools. I feel so ignorant. I’ve never heard of that before. THAT’S what I want. I’m going to have to look into these non traditional colleges some more. Off topic, can you get into med school from a non traditional school? I need to do some research.</p>
