<p>^I don't really agree...In my opinion, Swarthmore and Haverford are closer to the Ivies. I'm not so sure about the universities, since the LACs on your list are not all equal in caliber. The ones at the top like Amherst are probably close to U Chicago, Georgetown, Northwestern, or JHU. Some of the others are similar to a school like U Michigan. However, I'm just looking at this from the standpoint of academic quality/selectivity. I can't really say much about similarities in campus life, course offerings, special programs, etc.</p>
