Can I apply as a different major to a different college?

Most liberal arts colleges do not ask you to select a major, instead they ask for your interests. That’s a big difference. Colleges understand that the vast majority of students change their intended major during their 4 years of college – so they don’t hold students to the choices they make on their application (unless you are applying to a specific school within a university). So, yes . . . it’s perfectly acceptable to select another interest when applying to colleges – especially if that college does not offer the major you most want.
