<p>Please share your opinions!</p>
<p>Excited about learning- University of Chicago and Swarthmore.</p>
<p>I know Vassar College in New York has that vibe. The campus is beatiful, too. It’s an official arboretum.</p>
<p>MIT/Caltech, Johns Hokpins</p>
<p>Kalamazoo and the College of the Atlantic were by far the first two I thought of.</p>
<p>[Kalamazoo</a> College](<a href=“http://www.kzoo.edu/]Kalamazoo”>http://www.kzoo.edu/)</p>
<p>[College</a> of the Atlantic](<a href=“http://www.coa.edu/index.htm]College”>http://www.coa.edu/index.htm)</p>
<p>Kalamazoo requires service learning and has the highest per capita placement rate to the Peace Corps of any college.</p>
<p>COA is…well, unique. It caters to a very creative and intrinsically driven individual.</p>
<p>Princeton Review does not have a list of the academic ratings. You have to search for a particular college and then click the “academic tab” on the college’s profile, then it will give you their academic ranking.</p>
<p>Harvard - 99
Princeton- 98
Holy Cross -98
Yale- 95
MIT- 97
Stanford- 99
Columbia- 96
Duke- 91
U Chicago- 97
Dartmouth- 96</p>
<p>Definitely Grinnell-a reputation for some of the hardest working students, but also as a producer of Phds, which to me, implies a genuine interest in the subject areas. Also, that unpretentious midwestern vibe is part of the campus DNA.</p>
<p>
George Washington University
Boston University
Duke University
University of California- Berkeley
Yale University or Princeton University ?
University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign ( in addition to other things, that impression grew learning about the school annual Quad day)
Syracuse University
American University</p>
<p>Those are a few of the schools that come to thought of highly motivated.</p>
