[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carleton [/quote]
OP said T20.[/quote]
Idiotic and ignorant. Carleton is a top 10 SLAC, but you’re clueless about any college that’s not a national university.[/quote]

Amherst, Williams, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Barnard, Wellesley, Swarthmore, Middlebury, Harvey Mudd, Grinnell, Bowdoin and many others come before it on top SLAC lists but yes its a good SLAC, however never ranked on ANY T20 list.[/quote]

In the current US News National Liberal Arts Colleges ranking, Carleton is tied for #6.

1. Williams
2. Amherst
3. Pomona
4. Swarthmore
5. Wellesley
6. Bowdoin, Carleton, US Naval Academy

Claremont McKenna is tied for 9th, Middlebury for 11th, Grinnell for 15th, Barnard for 18th, Harvey Mudd for 29th. Perhaps the PP who said it is "never ranked on ANY T20 list" prefers a different ranking system, but US News isn't exactly obscure.

It is also listed as #1 for Undergraduate Teaching for National Liberal Arts Colleges by US News.

The fact that it flies under the radar ("a school most people have ever heard of") actually supports its place in this discussion. And while its physical location is lovely, some people write it off because it is located in Minnesota. Ultimately, students aren't there because they think people will be impressed by the name on the diploma. Instead, it fits a lot of what OP was looking for, a place with students with "top credentials that would nonetheless have a lot of fun kids who don't take themselves seriously."[/quote]

Most people don’t consider the top 20 SLAC list topic schools. I mean Colby, a top 20? Come on.[/quote]

“top schools”[/quote]
