Can I recommend New College of Florida? I strongly considered this school before I decided I wanted to go somewhere larger and farther away. It’s small, but it’s located in Sarasota, right next to Tampa which is the largest city in Florida, and it’s right by the beach. It’s like the Florida version of Hampshire or Sarah Lawrence, with teacher evaluations instead of grades, etc. It’s also public and very cheap.

Can I ask why you’re so set on the South? If you’re looking to stay close to home, looking at other states near Kentucky such as Ohio or Pennsylvania could expand your choice considerably. If it’s the weather, loads of colleges in California–particularly the Claremont Consortium–as well as St. John’s in New Mexico would be worth a look.
