ISO East Coast or Midwest colleges with cool, open-minded, friendly intellectuals

Some good suggestions above - my son is a senior with similar stats and interests and has these schools on his list:

Colgate
Carleton
Middlebury
Bates
Colby
Grinnell
Macalester
Holy Cross
University of Richmond
Kenyon
Oberlin
St. Olaf
Connecticut College
Skidmore

Some of these skew a bit more to the more quirky cape-wearing (I’m thinking here of Grinnell) and some are likely reaches (Carleton, Middlebury, Colby, Colgate, Grinnell). A few have some Greek life (Richmond, Colgate and Kenyon) but my understanding is it’s not dominant at any of the campuses.
