MYOS1634:

Definitely second Wesleyan. (Plus it’s a “university” and it’s got some recognized grad programs so it may be more palatable to your parents).

Yes, I was going to point that out. So often the English word, “college” does not translate well in other languages. Many times it is used to denote a school of secondary education and creates a bias against American LACs most of whom were established before the widespread adoption of the German model of a university devoted to post baccalaureate research and in a time when the terms college and university were used interchangeably. Wesleyan started calling itself a university from the time of its founding in 1831.
