<p>1) Colorado College (amazing LAC…)
2) Air Force Academy
3) University of Colorado- Boulder (okay, looking aside some bad press lately…GO BOULDER!)
4) Colorado School of Mines (if you’re a boy…who doesn’t mind not seeing girls…EVER)
5) Colorado State University (it’s got an amazing vet/zoology program…)</p>
<p>—For the record, Colorado College, Air Force Academy and School of Mines could all be tied for one, depending on what you’re looking for…</p>
<p>Since most of the colleges in most of the states that people are ranking don’t have undergrad business, they are effectively doing the equivalent of your liberal arts ranking.</p>
<p>Wow, this country is smaller than I thought. Is this forum rankings driven or what? Seems many think no good schools exist beyond the coasts with the exception of a sprinkling in CO and the upper midwest.</p>
<p>cslleslie51, other than certain midwestern cities (St. Louis, Chicago) and certain states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa) there aren’t nearly as many good colleges in the midwest as the coasts.</p>
<p>I would certainly list the other colleges from other states, but my limited knowledge of these schools would lead me to do them by region and not by state. </p>
<p>Please remember that when I list colleges, I list them in no particular order. </p>
<p>Example: </p>
<p>Midwest:
Northwestern University
University of Chicago
University of Michigan: Ann Arbor
University of Wisconsin: Madison
Reed College
Carleton College
Kenyon College
Macalester College
Oberlin College / Grinnell
Washington University, St. Louis / University of Notre Dame</p>

<p>Thank you, cjhsstudent847. IIT should be #4 in Illinois. You were the only one that got it. It wasn’t even on any of the IL lists. With an avg. ACT of 29, it obviously should be. Sorry…gotta fight for my school…</p>
