Oberlin, Wesleyan and Smith together, yes. Kenyon? No. Way more traditional and conventional. |
and Butler |
| Davidson, Colgate, Richmond, Bucknell. |
| Add W&L to Davidson, Colgate, UR, Bucknell |
| My dd loved College of Wooster - she doesn’t have the stats for Oberlin or Kenyon. Where else should she look? |
That was a joke? You gals need to get out more. So sad. |
| UWash, UMinn, UBC, UToronto |
Wooster, Kalamazoo, Earlham, St. Olaf (except the latter has a religious bent) |
Other than the word "Saint" in its name, no. It ain't Liberty or Wheaton (IL). |
| Bates, Hamilton, Vassar and Colorado College |
PP here: It has an active association with the Lutheran Church. It's not overbearing or tilting the education in any major way and it is very inclusive. But while other SLACs may have religious origins, they no longer have an active religious affiliation--even others with "St." in the title like "St. John's College." I would say St. Olaf is Lutheran the way Notre Dame is Catholic. Bears knowing, but usually doesn't stop non-religious from attending. |
Perhaps Denison. |
No, take Georgetown and BC out and put them together. And keep ND and Villanova together. Georgetown (and increasingly more and more, BC too) is Catholic in name only. ND and Villanova have much stronger Catholic character. |
Conversely, you can analyze this group in terms of urban vs small town. ND college life is nowhere near anything like BC or GU or even VU b/c it is in the armpit that is South Bend. |
| Look at the "overlaps" feature in the Fiske Guide; it will tell you where students who applied to college X also applied. |
