<p>whats a good liberal arts schools with a BIG social scene?</p>
<p>whats your definition of a "big social scene?</p>
<p>somewhere where i can get the small school education but the big school social life, you know, football games and lots of team spirit,</p>
<p>I don't know what your academic situation is, but Williams has a lot of school spirit and support for athletics. So do most of the schools in that conference- Amherst, Middlebury etc. Colgate and Lafayette might be other options for you.</p>
<p>Holy Cross and Colgate are 2 of the best. Although HC plays in a much larger stadium-25,000 vs Colgate's 7,000. Holy Cross also has very good men's and women's basketball teams that make the NCAA's most years.</p>
<p>yea i was thinking that those schools would have big ones. wish i could go there, I am applying to middlebury, but its a reach. What about smaller schools like denison, and depauw ect. thanks guys!</p>
<p>Purdue University - West Layfette would be a good match for you. Its a small town with a lot of school spirit. i dont know what you want to major in but if you like engineering...it would be perfect for you since it is ranked in the top 10 also</p>
<p>Denison has a lot of school spirit. Attendance at football games is apparently increasing, now that the team is winning. Regardless of sport, any contest against Ohio Wesleyan generally draws a large crowd.</p>
<p>Washington & Lee is a small school with a very active party scene and lots of spirit.</p>
<p>It seems Bucknell would be a good choice</p>
<p>they have a good basketball team and it is a LAC</p>
<p>I think Lafayette is also in this vein-- with sports and a fun social life.</p>
<p>But purdue isnt a small school, nor is it a lac. Claremont colleges might fit the bill. They are small schools themselves, but when you add all the schools together it adds up to about 10,000 students</p>
<p>Claremont colleges aren't exactly bursting with school spirit. They're more low-key.</p>
<p>denison? great I am applying there. Everyday I get less and less happy looking at the smaller school sjust because I am scared I wont be able to get that college feel, you know. I want a school that I feel like I have an option to go out and meet new people.</p>
<p>Lafayette is weak in the Patriot League- football over-shadowed by Lehigh and its basketball team is usually in bottom half while Holy Cross and Bucknell usually win.</p>
