[quote=Anonymous]Hi, we are a CA family trying to figure out the Midwest/East Coast. My kid is looking for colleges that have walkable towns/ethnic food plus the ability to find some anonymity. We happened to spend 4 days in Burlington last summer. I thought it might be a fit (loved the houses w/porch hammocks) but my kid felt it was too small - they saw the whole town in 2 days plus there wasn’t anywhere else you could easily escape to. (Love public transportation/definitely no car freshman year) 
Not looking for info on colleges in cities (Macalaster), big college towns (U mich) or ones with easy metro access (UMCP) 
Trying to get a sense of places like:
Williamsburg- William &Mary
Mass 5 college consortium
Appleton WI - Lawrence 
Kalamazoo MI 
Worcester MA - Holy Cross, Clark
I think they could be a fit for a small/medium school but they are used to city living and are introverted so occasionally want a break from people they know. Want to be able to take a 2 hour walk and listen to headphones or go to lunch/cafe/bookstore without running into all people they know. 
Welcome suggestions or if you had a similar kid, how did they deal/where did they go? Thanks
