Looking for recommendations for: mid-sized schools (2,000-18,000 undergrad pop), in or near a city/good college town, liberal mindset, strong liberal arts, diverse, good study abroad programs, collaborative environment.
School’s similar to:
BU
GWU
Wash U in St. Louis
American
Emory
Tulane
etc…
Some ideas offhand…USC, Fordham, BC, Georgetown, Barnard (if female), Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, Emerson (if looking for majors offered there), Goucher, Loyola MD. If you like coop programs perhaps Drexel and Northeastern
U.Chicago
Brown
Reed (Portland! Hard to get more liberal than that.)
Rice (Houston)
LMU (Los Angeles) - Catholic but liberal in other ways (social issues, etc.) - depends on your definition of liberal
(someone mentioned USC - it is urban but it’s huge)
