Rice, Colgate, Tufts, William & Mary, Wake Forest, Claremont Consortium, Dartmouth, Brown all would be excellent fits.

If you are talking about true LACs, I would say Bucknell, Canisius, Hope, St. Olaf, Holy Cross, Univ of Richmond, Oberlin, Wesleyan, Colgate

Colgate, Holy Cross and Bucknell all play Division1 sports. Most of their non-conference games are against the IVY League schools.

the claremont colleges are 5 colleges, located literally next to each other. They are comprised of pomona, harvey mudd, pitzer, scripps, and claremont mckenna. Pomona is an all around LAC (one of the best in the nation) Harvey Mudd is one of the best schools for engineering, pitzer is more into humanities, scripps is all girls, and claremont mckenna is more business oriented, but offers other majors

^ Correction: Pitzer is known for interdisciplinary humanities/social sciences (e.g. linguistics) and CMC is known for being leadership-oriented, more conservative, strong in social sciences--more government than business, though.

correct. CMC does not offer biz, but is strong in econ and poli sci/gov; the Claremont Graduate College does have a grad program in biz that offers a 4+1 MBA, if I recall. If Pomona was on the east coast, it would compete with Amherst & Williams for top dog.

I see, I thought each of the LAC's student body was about 5,000 students.... adding up to about 25,000 students.

nope, each school has less than 5,000 kids ( by a long shot), pomona, the largest, has around 1,500 students.

^they may add up to about 5,000 students, though. If it were on the east coast it would be something of an anomaly. It's actually bigger than Dartmouth.
