Tell me any small colleges where a student on the spectrum can thrive

I agree that Shenandoah and Muhlenberg are good suggestions. Have you looked at Mary Washington in VA or St. Mary’s College of MD? Those are other solid public options that check many of the criteria listed.

A primarily commuter school with big financial troubles. Would not recommend. Also, no theater program.

Not if you mean the one here in Arlington.

Marist - good for kids who need extra support

Might be a little larger and further than looking for but RIT has support programs both academic and career for students on the spectrum. They also have cross over with students participating in digital art and technology and students participating in performing arts. There are small music/performing arts scholarships.

I think you're going to have to look for schools that have a Japanese minor. That is uncommon for small schools.

We were favorable towards Randolph Macon when we visited. They have a Japanese Studies minor. We took the train from Union Station and the trip is just about two hours. It's an easy walk to the college from the train station.

Otherwise, I'd recommend Goucher, Washington & Jefferson, Juniata, Chatham, Allegheny, etc but I don't think most of them have Japanese.

Denison seems to have Japanese, not sure about a minor

Hell no

High Point is not good for kids on the spectrum.

It is for idiots who can not get in anywhere else.

McDaniel or Mulenberg.

I'm the GMU poster. High Point would have been best for my ADHD/anxiety/ASD kid, but we couldn't afford it, and it was too far away. But it would have been great for her. GMU was closer so that worked when DD needed help.

OP here. Why High Point? Just curious. We got a view book from them this week.

I’ve heard good things about Ramapo in NJ.

RIT has been great for my theater kid on the spectrum, but be aware that they don’t have theater majors, just minors.
