Looking for information on specific programs

<p>Here is my current list, in no particular order:
Wesleyan University - College of Letters
Vassar College - The Independent Program
NYU - Gallatin School
Brown University
Tufts University</p>

<p>For those of you familiar with these schools, I am interested in knowing how they compare with each other.</p>

<p>I’ve zoomed in pretty far in terms of what kind of education I want, and will most likely end up applying to all of these, but I also want to know if there are any other schools within this same vein that would be worth considering (I’ll worry about ranking safeties/matches/reaches later on).</p>

<p>I think the gist of it is pretty obvious from looking at my list; I’m seeking an open program of study that is self-structured and intellectually challenging.</p>

<p>Also, an afterthought: Do my interests place me definitively in the category of either a university or liberal arts education, or am I characteristic of both? I’m slightly confused about how my list is just about split in half between the two.</p>
