I don’t know what part of the country you are willing to consider… Berry College in Rome, Georgia has good, solid academics and great merit scholarships. They are a D3 school and have women’s volleyball. Student population is 2,000 and have enough smart kids to keep good interest in classroom discussions. They seem to have a mix of preppy, artistic, hipster, indie, etc. personalities so there should be some friends for every type of student.

The school has been around for over 100 years, and has the endowment to prove it. They stress service and work, and every student is guaranteed a job on campus if they want one. The Berry name and reputation is solid in the southeast region. They are ranked #129 in National Liberal Arts Colleges (USNWR).
