<p>Oberlin, Kenyon, Denison</p>
<p>These three schools form a good core of midwestern LAC's (without having to travel to another state)...have her visit these and find out what her likes and dislikes are.</p>
<p>With the tennis thing, she might check Tulsa. 2800 students, good strong academics but not Williams or Harvard, nicest tennis facility on the planet (have hosted NCAAs 2 of last 4 years), the single nicest wellness/workout place I've ever seen. Bucknell might be another ... 3300 students ... 3 hours from eastern Ohio line. Patriot League. Love Denison. Kalamazoo has top tennis program in D III. Problem there is it's very small.</p>
<p>Don't know much about the tennis program but our daughter is in her first year at Wooster and loves it. She has made some great friends and has already established relationships with professors. The Ohio weather has been an adjustment but no other complaints!</p>
<p>wow... I had left this thread for dead, but thanks for the posts.</p>
<p>I live in cincinnati... but as of now my sister has stated that she is open to leaving the state of ohio. So I guess the new specifications are about up to 1000 mile radius... but she's still looking a relatively small schools. so maybe she might consider the northeastern lacs too as well as smaller research universitys (no more than 8000 students).</p>
<p>The updated list includes:</p>
<p>Reach:
Emory
Williams
Swarthmore</p>
<p>Target:
Oberlin
Kenyon
Denison</p>
<p>but please continue. I'll have her look at the schools suggested. Thanks</p>
<p>Not in Ohio but Pennsylvania: Muhlenberg. Division 3 offers academic scholarships plus they have excellent pre-med reputation.</p>
