[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel like the MN schools sound like good fits for my DS but the winter thing is just too overwhelming. He does not like the cold weather, sigh. I wish there were schools like Carleton or Macalester in the south! [/quote]

There are.

First of all before I get to the South, let me just mention that Reed College in Oregon is intellectually a lot like Carleton and winters in the Pacific Northwest are a lot milder than Minnesota winters by a long shot. Pomona in Southern California is a lot like Carleton. Coming back to this side of the Rockies, Colorado College would be a good fit. People don’t think of Rice university when thy think of liberal arts colleges because it’s a research university and it has Engineering, but it’s one of the 3 or 4 smallest research universities in the country with 4000+ undergrads and has great liberal arts. Davidson is a classic liberal arts college, just outside Charlotte. Trinity in San Antonio isn’t listed as LAC but at its core it really is, and it’s small (2500), and it’s very good. Furman, , Sewanee, and Rhodes are worth checking out. And of course you know about Washington & Lee and Richmond.[/quote]
