<p>I'm just wondering what are some of other people's favorite Liberal Arts Colleges, and why? </p>
<p>Mine are Swarthmore, Amherst, Pomona, Bowdoin, Vassar, Wesleyan and Reed.</p>
<p>That list of schools has schools strong and weak in different subjects, so it is unlikely that a given student will find the optimal academic match at all of them.</p>
<p>Oberlin, Swarthmore, Carleton, Reed, Middlebury</p>
<p>Vassar, Smith, Grinnell, Reed, Macalester</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Williams, Bowdoin, Middlebury.</p>
<p>Washington & Lee, Colby, Bates, Williams, Bowdoin, Dartmouth (which really is an LAC), Colgate.</p>
<p>Apart from my own school, Reed, some LACs that really impressed me when I was applying to college were: Swarthmore, Vassar, Barnard, Sewanee, Mount Holyoke, Trinity University.</p>
<p>I don’t know that I’d call it a “favorite,” but one LAC that I’m impressed with and that I think should be more well-known than it is is Occidental College.</p>
<p>Williams, Bowdoin, Colgate, Colby, Hamilton, Bates</p>
<p>The LAC’s that really impressed me were Kenyon, St. Olaf and Furman.</p>
<p>My own Grinnell is my favorite, obviously. Middlebury is a close second.</p>
<p>Bowdoin
College of the Atlantic
Davidson*
Haverford
Reed
Swarthmore</p>
<p>Honorable mentions - Kenyon, Lewis & Clark, Rhodes</p>
<p>*Seriously, this school is awesome but gets no love/respect on CC.</p>
<p>My DD’s top three - Amherst , Bowdoin and Pomona. After visiting Pomona was her top choice.</p>
<p>Holy Cross, Davidson.</p>
<ol>
<li>Pomona College</li>
<li>Wesleyan University</li>
<li>Kenyon College</li>
<li>Illinois Wesleyan University</li>
<li>Trinity University Texas</li>
</ol>
<p>Reed, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore (best outcomes in terms of % of grads getting professional degrees or PhD’s.</p>
<p>Oberlin! ;)</p>
<p>Colgate, Bucknell.</p>
<p>Rhodes!</p>
<p>Respect also for Amherst, Bernard, Berea, Coe, Holy Cross, Goucher, Hampton-Sidney, Hope, Juniata, Luther, Muhlenberg, St. Michael’s, St. Olaf, Vassar, Washington & Jefferson, Washington, Williams, and Wheaton IL.</p>
<p>Well, I’m gonna have to say Holy Cross because I go there XD</p>
