What might be a fit? (Classics programs)

Thanks for the responses everyone! I wasn’t expecting so many responses so soon! I’m a she for the record :slight_smile:

@NROTCgrad @par72 I’ve looked at Holy Cross and am pretty familiar with it as a close relative goes there. My impression is that it’s very “preppy” with a pretty big lax bro vibe. Correct me if I’m wrong, however.

@SpiritManager I don’t know so much that I’m “writing off” LAC Classics programs so much that I don’t think the LAC size/culture is a fit for me. So far, I have not felt that any of the elite small LACs I have visited would meet my needs. I didn’t love the smaller facilities, fewer dorms, percieved fewer opportunities, etc. I haven’t loved the extreme rural location of most of the LACs I’ve visited so far either. I fully appreciate that Classics is very good at LACs, but other aspects of them have turned me off so far. That’s not the rule, however, just the trend I’ve seen after visits at Bowdoin, Middlebury, Amherst, Wellesley, and Williams.

Does anyone have any more info about Classics at Cornell? I couldn’t find a lot on the website, and my GC is (understandably) not so knowledgeable about the relative strengths of Classics departments.

Also to clarify, I’m more interested in literature, philology, etc. than archeology.
