<p>I'm looking for fairly small schools (no less than 2,000 but no more than 7,000) that are more liberal arts based. I want a school thats in or near a relatively large city. I'm interested in art history, classics, visual arts, and other humanities. I don't want a school thats centered heavily around Greek life or athletics, but the students should know how to have fun. I'd perfer the school to swing slightly left, although I don't want a student body that is too liberal (a mix is nice). I also don't want any strong religious ties. I would perfer east coast or possibly the south. The selectivity of the school does not matter at this point. Thanks.</p>

<p>if ur a girl Barnard if not Columbia (columbia might be a bit big though)</p>
<p>You have described Rice.</p>
<p>Columbia is not big, it has ~1000 in the college and ~700? in the Engineering School..</p>
<p>Look at Dartmouth too</p>
<p>Check out Tufts.</p>
<p>I think Dartmouth fails the big city criteria, and fails the greek criteria (Animal House?).</p>
<p>Cooper: With the exception of religious-type schools and the military academies, nearly every school swings 'slightly left - it's the nature of academe.</p>
<p>Princeton..close to philly and NYC fairly small # of students...undergrad focused</p>
<p>that is Rice.</p>
