Also looking for schools where students have a lot of choices with their general education or core requirements where students can choose what really interests them within certain categories.

Simply as foundational information, the Northeastern LACs with the most flexible curricula may be Amherst, Hamilton and Smith College.

Hampshire and Amherst have nearly complete curricular flexibility. Williams is pretty flexible and Dartmouth is as well, except that it has a foreign language requirement.
