Seems to me that you are talking about Shenandoah University.

Somebody has a real boner for Juniata. It’s such a no-name school anywhere but on the DCUM college forum.

Maybe UNC Asheville?


Nope. It’s small. But it’s a very “crunchy” school. Opposite of what Op wants.

HigH Point

My kid liked Muhlenberg, Juniata, and Elizabethtown. We also toured Dickinson but for some reason he did not like it. It appeared a bit preppier/sportier perhaps. It came across on the tour as humanities focused. Lots of foreign language depts, a foreign language requirement, emphasis on study abroad.
