Strong literary/arts community?

<p>Erin’sDad - My parents seldom discuss financial issues with me. They have mentioned, however, that they cannot afford all four years at a $50,000 institution, but we might not qualify for financial aid (at least, not much financial aid). I’m from NJ.</p>

<p>My college list at the moment (that I’m trying to rework):
Amherst
Brown
UChicago
Dartmouth
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
Princeton
Rice
Williams
Yale</p>

<p>I might be dropping Yale and Dartmouth. As you can see, I’m already applying to a couple LACs. (I’m also Asian, so I’m considered URM there!) Are there any others you could suggest?</p>
