<p>Hey guys</p>
<p>I'm looking for schools in the south....small or medium sized, presitgous schools</p>
<p>So far I've got Emory, Rice, Duke, and Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>uva, w&m, wake forest, unc-ch, washington & lee, davidson</p>
<p>you forgot UT</p>
<p>Tulane is both in the south and considered by some to be prestigious.</p>
<p>depends what kind of major you want</p>
<p>undecided major (i know, very helpful lol)</p>
<p>thanks for the suggestions so far, please keep them coming</p>
<p>if youre undecided and you like small schools, try to find some liberal arts colleges. like some jags listed: washington and lee, davidson. lol most "prestigious" schools are up north unless you know what major youre going into</p>
<p>Uf........</p>
<p>emory, tulane, vanderbilt, duke, rice, wake forest are the prestigous southern schools</p>
<p>^^^for universities which is a different classification than LACs. W&L and Davidson are definitely top LACs that are located below the M-D line.</p>

<p>UT-Austin is the highest ranked in terms of faculty quality and academic departments - across the board, per the NRC and London Times, at least. Actually, I think Duke passed it in the London Times rankings, but that's the only one.</p>
<p>Hampden-Sydney is very old-1776,small-about 1000 students,strictly liberal arts-no business,no engineering,no fluff or junk courses,all male-one of only two such left in America,very Southern-a place where tradition,patriotism,chivalry, brotherhood and manners reign supreme.Sports and frats are big.The friendliest and most hospitable school in America.</p>
<p>The OP is a girl according to the little profile under her name. She can't go to HSC. However, she can also consider Mary Baldwin, Sweet Briar, Agnes Scott--all women's colleges (not really prestigious though).</p>
<p>I hardly think UT-Austin would be considered small or medium-sized.</p>
<p>You might also want to look into Trinity University in San Antonio. It's not on the same level as Rice, but it's a good school that goes under the radar.</p>
<p>Sewanee, Rhodes, Centre</p>
<p>i was just going to say those ! haha
Furman too</p>
<p>also i hear that the honors programs at LSU and Ole Miss and even Bama are pretty good ... can anyone verify that ?</p>
<p>yes but small - medium sized doesn't mean 30k+. even UNC and UVa push the limits of "medium" sized</p>
<p>MoWC is right. UT Austin is a great school, but if the OP prefers a smaller size, that's her preference. Even if UT, UNC, UF, and UVA are amongst the best, they probably aren't the best fit for her. </p>
<p>I second recommendations for Emory, Tulane, Rice, Davidson, etc. I also offer up Elon and Stetson, which are not as competitive to get into, but still have strong academics.</p>
<p>Wake Forest is pretty small-mediumish.</p>
