Check out Drew again - you said that you barely got to see it.
It is close to NYC - a 7 minute walk puts you on a 30 minute train to the city… or you can go just about anywhere by transfering trains.

90% of the student body lives on campus creating a close-knit environment. Classes are small and intimate. Environment is lovely. There is no Greek life on campus. Campus has a liberal, artsy feel - but has its share of conservatives too… I have a feeling the student body is similar to that which Skidmore has…

Drew may be what you are looking for… go take a better look :-)

PS - regarding Ursinus & Juniata… We’d been to Ursinus a couple of times and had researched Juniata quite a bit… Ursinus is a wonderful school with an intimate, close-knit campus (it does have quite a Greek life)- BUT, it & especially Juniata are not convenient to any city! Ursinus will have you thinking it’s easy to get to one (King of Prussia mall area (not a city - but civilization) and Philadelphia, but all of the students we’d talked to said it was a big hassle to get there!
