What are some matches for me?

<p>I'm into smaller schools but I know some larger schools have programs that make it feel like a "small school" so I'll consider those. I like smaller cities to rural environment. I want to go premed, but I'd like to major in Environmental Studies (a RESPECTED department... not a joke one like it is at a lot of schools) or Ecology. However, Biochem is a close 2nd choice so that Environmental Studies thing isn't a make it or break it.
Ok... for my stats.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if you’re more interested in Universities or Liberal Arts Colleges, but I would check out schools like Kenyon College, Denison College, and Grinnell College. They’re all phenomenal small, private schools. I imagine schools like Oberlin or Carleton could be possibilities.
Of course, the Midwest might not be your thing. I understand.
Pitzer College, Scripps College, and Whittier College out west would be good matches.
Occidental and Whitman could happen too.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m not too familiar with big Universities or the East Coast.
Middlebury is a great school though, if you can get in.</p>
