<p>I haven’t read the entire thread, but I am in the process of finding safeties (and matches) for my son who I think really needs a small school. He wants to visit Furman, which was not familiar to me, but we drove by it and the campus is lovely. When H heard it was near Bob Jones University, he looked at me like I had lost my mind. I told him we need to visit the school and be open to whether or not it was a good fit for S. I don’t believe any school should be excluded just because of an assumption that it’s too conservative or too liberal. If it’s the right school for my son to learn and grow, then it should be on his list.</p>
<p>I’m also going to check out Champlain College. Thanks sally305.</p>
