Also maybe Ithaca and Juniata


+1 on SMCM


Has had issues even filling its class so not worth wasting time there.


Oh, look, dummy is back. Hello, dummy. Entertain us, please.


Lol. I think this person has an issue with woodsy campuses or some other fixation.

We couldn’t find anyone who had a bad experience at Boulder and even though the UCs have their issues with budgets and class sizes it still won her over (I think because it is close to the Ocean). She did end up applying to skidmore and UVM as well. I deemed Humboldt too hard to get back to the east coast from.


Im assuming your daughter is a major pothead with that list of schools.

No sounds to me like she just wants to enjoy the planet while we still have it. Smart kid!

Oh sweetie. You are showing your age. Nobody under the age of 40 calls it pot. I think you’re notions about college are stuck in the 70s.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree to this one. UW Maddison sits between two beautiful lakes and has lots of out door opportunities but is far from "woodsy". Half of the campus is easily described as urban. After our visit dd cut this from her list based on it being too urban and not having enough nature around.


While this is true, it does have half a campus right on the lake and lakeshore area with a 5 mile trail to picnic point, which is a jetti into the lake right across from campus. That with the Aboretum that someone else mentioned and it is a good combo, though certainly not UCSC or some of the others mentioned.

UVM is not in the woods. It is in a populated part of Burlington.

Madison has the lake front and picnic point, but it is also very much not in the woods.

Which is sort of like the cold part of Florida....

Colby College has a nature reserve. Dartmouth has woods near it.

Well, it is very woodsy! There was a recent thread about SMCM:

Indiana University is the most beautiful, wooded campus I've ever seen. Bloomington is a nice town. I didn't go there, but have toured many college campuses as part of my job, and I love, love going to IU.
