I don't really care about the feel as long as the education is good. Trust me, I have been to a very uncomfortable high school but enjoyed my last three years and as education goes, they all have the top professors.
If all you care about is good education, then there are literally a hundred great schools you could be applying to. For exceptionally high quality, under-grad focused teaching, take a look at the top 30+ LACs.
Of course they do. Grinnell and Macalester are, for example, 11% international because they offer generous financial aid and scholarships. So do most of the other top LACs.
