Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but here are some ideas (these are mostly in the Deep South, not as much in the NC/VA area):

Birmingham-Southern College (my alma mater). Small liberal arts college in Birmingham. Methodist-affiliated, but not churchy at all. Lots of kids go to grad school (med and law). Other similar colleges include Millsaps (Jackson, MS), Rhodes (Memphis, TN). Agnes Scott in Atlanta if you have a girl (have a relative there now having a great experience and she is from New York). Sewanee in rural Tennessee is supposed to be good as well.

Thanks, we are thinking in terms of the Deep South. I hadn't heard of those colleges before we will include them in our search.

Mississippi University for Women--first public women's college in the nation...128 years old but has admitted men since 1984.

Located in Columbus, MS near the Columbus Air Force Base. Nicknamed "The W,", the university has a reputation of "private school education at a public school value." Also, consistently rated by US News as best value among Southern liberal arts schools. Top rated nursing school in South.

Also, my alma mater! Can you tell I love my college!?! I'm still in touch with my professors too (graduated in 1998!). Check it out!
