<p>What schools are you looking at? Are you looking at schools that give international students lots of aid? Do you want city/country/ht/cold? There are literally thousands of liberal arts colleges to choose from so if you narrow it down a bit you may get more help. I live in New England so I have friends at a lot of LACs up here, any that you want to get about? </p>
<p>Colby college in Maine has a 30ish% acceptance rate and is very good. My father works in engineering and has hired a couple of graduates from the Colby/Dartmouth 3-2 plan. Colby also has a reputation for being generous to international students in regards to financial aid. I have friends there that love it, but it is definitely in a rural and cold setting.</p>
