<p>I’d recommend he consider Georgetown in the reach category. Vibrant theater scene, excellent English department, non-mandatory chapel and a diverse selection of non-Catholic religious groups and services on campus. </p>
<p>In general, you can rely on Jesuit schools to provide a religiously-informed but not religiously-forced intellectual education.</p>

<p>I’d look at Muhlenberg in addition to Skidmore and Occidental to balance out the reach-heaviness.</p>
