[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK trying to return to what I think was original request, if I get the gist…smaller liberal arts/research institutions in urban/suburban areas with reasonably high stats and very limited or no religious affiliation or visibility.

What about Reed in Portland? PNW is low on religiosity and liberal. Or maybe Lewis & Clark?

There’s also Trinity in Hartford (despite the name I don’t expect much religion, though Hartford apparently isn’t great).

Rhodes in Memphis, Macalester is in the Twin Cities, and Haverford and Swarthmore are near Philly. Sarah Lawrence is near NYC.

There’s your Claremonts in CA…probably not too religious and pretty prestigious (and hard to get into, etc.)

Just a few ideas.

Thanks! Reasonably high stats but not a superstar. Cali is too far (for me). In an ideal world we'd find a school that isn't gigantic, isn't in the middle of nowhere, and isn't impossible to get into (Swarthmore isn't happening!). Kid is outgoing and not in the least bit quirky, not sure about Sarah Lawrence or Reed for a social fit. That's the issue with the religious schools IMO - if most students wear a cross necklace or light candles on Sabbath or whatever, it might feel weird to be a kid who has never once set foot in a church or temple.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?  Do you honestly think that that's what students at Notre Dame and Brandeis do?  Yep, you're anti-religion not just non-religious.

Kid wouldn't get into Notre Dame anyway.  No way.  But he should also write off Villanova if that's your attitude. [/quote]
