Midd 4eva.

Tuftonians are "too kind" and wouldn't be able to act as bullies. They are Hufflepuffs mixed with a side of Ravenclaw, not Slytherin a--holes.

Schools that my kid won't be at. Sounds like he and his mom think that his poop doesn't stink.

Colgate seems like a great suggestion. Several of the most insufferable people I've ever met went there.

If he is as cool as you say he is he would be miserable at about half the schools you listed. Vassar? Really?

Good suggestions, would add Colgate also.


Great addition. Trinity as well.

My DC is from a big city, comfortable in his own skin, intelligent, social, cool, liberal and straight. He wants small classes and access to Profs, but doesn't want to be in too alternative of a culture. He is liberal, calm and easygoing. He is active (soccer, rock-climbing, snowboarding, track) but not a recruited athlete.

Which LAC would be "best fit" and most stimulating for him? Assuming he gets into the following schools: Wesleyan, Amherst, Carleton, Vassar, Occidental and Tufts (I think of it as a very big LAC)? He is biracial, well-traveled, chill, smart and motivated.

Intended major: Poli Sci, IR or History
