Thank you so much for the suggestions everyone! I really appreciate it! <3 <3

Also, I’m horrible at CC formatting so hopefully this uber-lengthy reply works…

Macalester. College of Wooster. College of Idaho (their PEAK program has you get 1 major and 3 minors).

I really love Macalester! I will def EA there. I’ve only heard of Wooster in passing so I’ll look into those! Thank you!

@MWolf

In the West, Scripps College, Pitzer College (both in the 5-Cs), and Lewis & Clark. University of Puget Sound is worth your while to look at, as well.

There are other colleges which I would otherwise recommend, but they are generally too far away from a major urban area.

However, if 40 minutes by car isn’t too far for you, Carleton College in MN, and St Olaf, which is close to Carleton.

I really like Haverford/Pitzer/Scrips/L&C! ! Will read more about the others. Also the locations of Carleton and St. Olaf are fine imo, since I’d be able to go to the Twin Cities if I really wanted to. I love Carleton but conflicted abt applying because I’m worried about my college list having mainly schools that are really selective and I don’t want my app season to be painful lol

WRT the replies about Kenyon – I know it’s pretty remote but I’ve read about Kenyon a lot and really love it and feel like the pros outweigh the possible con of it’s location. I will probably visit this summer. (If only the residential workshop there accepted me… Still bitter.)

Dickinson

I read more about Dickinson after this reply and it looks great! Tysm for the info about the single room accommodation (I saw someone on Reddit mention a similar accommodation at MoHo so excited about that). Also interesting that they’re test blind.

@Wjs1107

Smith, in Northampton, might be a good fit too. Northampton is adorable and has good music passing through town regularly (all my daughter’s favorites stopped there this year—Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Waxahatchee, etc). Plus a ton of indie bookstores. Enough to keep you occupied.

Definitely applying to Smith! Also your daughter has good music taste hehe

Reed

Reed was actually one of the first schools I was interested in while looking at colleges; I am mostly worried about the deflation people have talked about there regarding my GPA for law school, but I’ll still definitely EA there. Might visit this summer.

@Sweetgum

If you are outdoorsy and would like to be around a bunch of outdoorsy LGBTQ kids check out Warren Wilson near Asheville. It’s tiny and unique with a work program integrated into the school. Really sweet and Asheville is a super fun town in a gorgeous setting.

I’ve never heard of Warren Wilson! Looks really cool.

Right now my favorites of these are Smith, Bryn Mawr, Macalester, Kenyon, and maybe Oberlin and Mount Holyoke. Also Haverford and Carleton though I feel as if they’re more selective (?) than the others listed. Vassar and Wesleyan also very cool and I like the more flexible distribution reqs at both. Thanks again for the replies everyone!
