Dickinson College vs. Kenyon College

@EverythingBloo: Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina is still accepting applications & has financial aid available.

Since you lean conservative, attend church on Sundays, volunteer, and are into athletics, Furman University (about 2,700 undergrads) may be the perfect fit for you. Plus, in my opinion, there is just something magical about attending school in the South.

P.S. Ranked among the top 50 LACs. Furman offers merit scholarship money as well as need based financial aid. Might be the school for you as you “don’t go to high school parties” which hints that both of your current options may not be as good as a fit for you. (Furman has parties, but they tend to be more restrained & polite than a typical college party.)

Furman students are athletic with high participation in intramural & club sports for this DI school.

Furman is big on volunteering in community agencies,
