<p>Choice is hard. I'm planning on majoring in English, hoping to have a career in writing or journalism after college. Also interested in many other areas - history, international studies, art, film studies. I'm sort of stuck in a rut. Any suggestions would be appreciated!</p>
<p>These schools are pretty dis-similar. Middlebury is probably the most conservative and rural of the LACs, while Vassar and Wesleyan way more liberal. WUSTL and Reed are polar opposites as WUSTL is about as pre-professional as any university is, while Reed is about 1/4 the size with a very intense academic bent to it. </p>
<p>What kind of environment are you looking for? The academic reputation of all these schools are close enough and yet atmosphere and student body disparate enough that I would focus on entirely on fit at this point. I personally think Middlebury or Wesleyan would be the most enjoyable well-rounded experience of the bunch, but completely depends on what you're trying to get as you must have had reasons to apply to those other schools.</p>
