-Hamilton
-Smith, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire and Amherst (part of the 5 college consortium, plus UMass Amherst)
-Knox
-Beloit
Have you heard of the organization Colleges That Change Lives? https://ctcl.org/college-map/


This is good, however I recommend taking following out

Grinnell - way too much nerdy & meant for quirky kids. Stay away
Beloit - college is facing financial problems, may not survive
Amherst - way to overrated. Consider with caution

Make a constructive argument as to how Amherst is overrated.

There’s nothing interesting to show on the tour, however. If the geology department has a cool display of rocks, that is where the tour will go.

The reality is few kids are majoring in humanities and peers will be in STEM. It doesn’t mean those peers won’t also be strong in humanities or have other interests.


Exactly! My econ major at Chicago was EIC of his student newspaper, got 780 on the Verbal SAT, and can write a top-notch formal literary essay.


Econ is a humanities/liberal arts, not STEM. /signed Econ major.

Let's just say we can tell you are an Econ major -- and have unwittingly made the point that actual humanities kids should not be burdened by your ilk.
