URochester was my first thought as well! Great for neuroscience research, and for music.Neuroscience : Undergraduate Programs : Brain and Cognitive Sciences : University of Rochester CWRU could be another great option B.S. in Neuroscience | Neurosciences | School of Medicine | Case Western Reserve University (in Cleveland, where your classical singing group meets/performs… and CWRU also partners with the Cleveland Institute of Music). Also agree with Vassar and Amherst.
A good safety to consider could be the College of Wooster, which is one of the most research-focused LAC’s in the country. (And it’s almost within your stated 6 hr radius from Baltimore - less than 6.5 hrs, anyway.) Neuroscience - The College of Wooster The College of Wooster It’s also strong in music.
Boston is also about 6.5 hours from Baltimore, but BU could be a great option for you Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience Tons of research opportunities here. (It’s also another school with great music opportunities, and they have an Indian Classical Dance team as well BU’s premier Indian dance team celebrate reconciliation, reunion at this year’s showcase – The Daily Free Press )
