[quote=Anonymous]For Econ, a SLAC, and non-athlete, check out Pomona. A top SLAC (tho perhaps a slightly easier admit for a boy), it has an Econ dept that's top-rate, the sports team combines students from both Pomona and Pitzer, so athletes represent a smaller percentage of the Pomona student body and don't dominate, and has strong offerings as well in the environmental sciences (a focus of a lot of students). Though Pomona is small (just shy of 2000 students), it's part of the Claremont Colleges, a single campus with 5,000 other students at Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna, Scripps and Pitzer that functionally operate as one school, providing more social diversity, opportunities to find friends, clubs, classes, etc. It's extremely rigorous but students are known for being nice. It's also beautiful, with great weather nearly year-round, and while not in LA, it's close enough for the occasional getaway and definitely not isolated like Williams. Tho plenty of students go on to Wall Street, it's probably a bit more academic/intellectual in its vibes. Also has fantastic food. It has a huge endowment (esp. per capita), so very generous with financial aid and other resources for research, etc.[/quote]
