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

Disagree that Denison does not have much in the way of sports, at least for kids who want to play. No big-time spectator football, but Denison is very focused on athletics as an important part of the academic experience and the percentage of students playing on varsity teams is quite high. The facilities are first-rate. No Quidditch as far as I’ve heard. My son is a sophomore and a member of the track team. He really loves the school. The quality of the teaching has been first rate. He’s a pretty intellectual kid, and he’s been encouraged to delve into new areas and challenge himself. From a political perspective, the school seems to encourage open dialogue. I was impressed that my son watched the presidential debate together with a group of kids from across the political spectrum.
