Clark was the first one that occurred to me too. It might or might not qualify as a true safety, depending on how high a reach Brandeis is for you (for our son, Brandeis is a low reach, and Clark is a borderline match/safety). But it’s definitely easier to get into than Brandeis, and has a roughly similar academic approach and social/cultural vibe. Size-wise, it’s a bit smaller than Brandeis but in the same ballpark.

Depending on how wide a geographic net you want to cast, you might also want to consider places like Lawrence U. in Wisconsin and Alfred U. in western NY.
