<p>I went to Skidmore for a year, and am familiar with ConnColl. Mac is a more academic school, has superior sciences and is generally more global and social-justice oriented. Skidmore and ConnColl will have more regional (East coast) flavor and very prep school oriented, whereas Mac is more global. Midwest is more welcoming. AND MAC IS IN THE CITY. The other two are in small college towns. </p>
<p>For academics, choose Mac.</p>
