School like ND

<p>but HC is in an urban setting, Worcester; so HC is not exactly it). </p>

<p>So we are looking for </p>

<p>the the academic seriousness along the lines of HC (does not have to be a 98 PR academic rating; UD’s 79 is probably ok)
the location and size of ND - not urban, but insular
the catholic-ness of each
ideally, less drinking and partying and footballing than ND, and more talking about academics and engaging in ‘bigger picture’ things. this last criterion seems almost impossible to find unless we go to aquinas in ojai, california. that little college next to ND seems pretty good on this acct (college of the HC?), but it is all women. not good.</p>

<p>do we need to look to the lutherans? anyone?</p>
