I'd divide those groups more along the preppie - non/anti-preppie spectrum.
Preppie: Williams, Hamilton, and Middlebury.
Non-preppie/slightly preppy: Vassar
non-preppie/anti-preppie: Wesleyan, Bard, Swarthmore, Oberlin

A long time ago I remember hearing good things about Bennington's art offerings, but not sure about the academics?

Heard Bennington's academic strengths are overwhelmingly arts/humanities and at the time I was in high school...it was considered one of the most expensive schools in the country.
If I was a parent, I'd only consider sending my kids there if their academic interests are definitely leaning towards arts/humanities and they don't have better academic and financial options.
