Small, non-preppy school not far from Virginia for average students.

DD looking for a school similar in size and admission criteria as CNU, Mary Washington, Randolph Macon, Longwood but with more of an “Indie” scene as opposed to a Greek based school. Does a school like this exist in Virginia or close by?

I was going to suggest Randolph Macon. I friend's child goes there, she's never mentioned Greek life or "preppy" ness.

Elizabethtown, though it may be smaller than you're looking for. They give terrific merit aid, too.

SMCM?

Mary Washington doesn’t have a Greek system by the way although it’s true the vibe probably isn’t very indie but I wouldn’t call it preppy either from what I understand.

Maybe UNC Asheville?

TCNJ? It’s a very old school. One of the top in New Jersey. 3 hours away. It’s a suburban campus. Yes mostly NJ kids but Philly and NYC aren’t far so it’s a lively Indy thinking student body.

TCNJ is not “indie” in the least. It’s a state school with lots of preprofessionals and pretty high admissions standards. What a weird suggestion.

Muhlenberg is a great suggestion, OP. Lots of artsy majors, pretty campus, not insanely difficult to get into.
