Is Miami of OH too cold?

Would Wake Forest be too competitive?

Sewanee
Berry College
Austin College
Hendrix
Furman
Spring Hill
Montevallo
Mercer
Hamden-Sydney
Washington & Lee (may be a reach)

One public suggestion is Ole Miss. It has around 24,000 students, so it’s larger than you requested, but it doesn’t have that overwhelming feeling you get at many state flagships. Oxford is a great little college town.

Some good schools with warm weather that are not culturally Southern:

Santa Clara University
University of San Diego
University of San Francisco
Pepperdine
University of Miami

Make sure your kid does not relegate themselves to the Cotton Belt just because they want warm weather.


Thanks! Not necessarily southern culture--he just doesn't want much colder weather than what we get here.
We are originally from California and he specfically doesn't want to go to a college there.

Berry College in Rome, GA

Small enrollment but world’s largest campus, so lots of nature. There’s a very strong sense of community.

Lists majors of Environmental Studies and Environmental Science

Great campus jobs program that focuses on skills and development. While not required, most students participate at some point.

Others have mentioned the schools I wanted to suggest:

Rhodes (has environmental science) in Memphis, but a suburban campus, so doesn’t feel like a city

Rollins (has environmental studies but not environmental science) in FL. A friend’s daughter goes there and raves about it, and it does look gorgeous.
