<p>My S's friend is looking for a college with strong academics, students who really want to be there, intellectual excitement, and circus arts! She's also hoping to be pre-med, take dance, and, possibly, play soccer.</p>
<p>I did some research and came up with Oberlin, Ithaca, Hampshire, Vassar and Florida State University. Any other great ideas out there?</p>
<p>I don’t know about the academics there but Illinois State University has their own circus.</p>
<p>bigpacifisteyes, were you a Redbird? My husband and I were!</p>
<p>No, I just heard about it from a family friend.</p>
<p>the toronto circus school of the arts. an off shot of cirque de soliel of montreal. yes, it’s quite real, you saw their students in the films Chiacgo and Tuxedo with Jackie Chan, just to name a few.</p>
<p>best,</p>
