<p>Would Colorado be too far west? Fort Lewis College is a public LAC that might be just the ticket.</p>
<p>How about Quinnipiac or Iona? Hofstra/Adelphi/C.W. Post on Long Island (easy access to NYC, but not too huge)? </p>
<p>I would NOT recommend C.W. Post. Their financial situation is not good now.</p>
<p>many other good recommendations.</p>
