<p>Assuming amherst and willaims are the top 2, which, they undoubtedly are, I mena you could argeu and argue and argue that soemthigne sle deserved to be in the top 2, but lets face it - these are the two power huses - waht is 3?</p>
<p>you're going to start a commotion here, i can tell. but i'd say swarthmore</p>
<p>Swarthmore. While people here don't like USNWR, if Swarthmore is consisntently in the top 3, it can't be too bad of a college. It has solid premed, and offers engineeirng. While it has massive grade deflation, it is still able to place students in great grad programs (correct me if I'm wrong). What type of quesiton is this? Some can argue that Swarthmore is #1 if they really wanted to.</p>
<p>I think Swarthmore is #1.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. Swarthmore rules :)</p>
<p>pomona college</p>
<p>I think Swarthmore is the other "top 3", but i could see how someone might argue that it goes to pomona or (assuming it even counts as a "normal" lac) harvey mudd. Anything else is definitely below Swarthmore.</p>
<p>Argh, forgot about Pomona and the WASP acronym. Saying the best college between WASP is like doing the same thing for HYPS, it's not possible. Each college is top knotch in its own way and anyone can argue that one of the 4 is #1 in the US.</p>
<p>Gotta agree- Swarthmore.</p>
<p>swat is definitely equal to amherst and williams (without the heavy jock culture)</p>
<p>Swarthmore</p>
<p>swathmoreis probablby the 3rd best, but i would go to middlebury</p>
<p>pshh...it's all about Wellesley :]</p>
<p>oaky, its clearly middlebury, swathmore has this wierd no grades thing, im sure wellesley is great - but all girls - doesnt do us guys here any good, its MIDD, why, campus beautiful - people beautiful - and well everyhthign there si beautiful</p>
<p>Swarthmore, no contest. </p>
<p>The only thing negative I can think of about Swarthmore is that it's intense. If that's not for you, then maybe Pomona :)</p>

<p>haha yeah I agree with you, but only on the campus bit.
I think Middlebury has the best campus, hands down.</p>
<p>I would also say Swarthmore, and would even go so far to say that the top three schools (Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore) could be interchangeable.</p>
<p>Footballer, you clown ;) You start this thread and everyone says SWARTHMORE so you conclude "oaky, its clearly middlebury" LOL</p>
<p>^haha yeah I caught that too :]</p>
<p>And if Wellesley doesn't count (booo) because it's an all women's school, then I'd pick SWARTHMORE too.</p>
<p>Swarthmore has no grades?!?</p>
<p>lol that would be another reason to make it in the top 3!</p>
