I am hoping to go on a college tour, especially around the North East sometime soon to take a look at some schools for Classics and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any outstanding L.A.C.s or Universities that they would find noteworthy which I should consider visiting during my college search (and they do not have to be limited to the North East).

I’ve looked at a few schools already (Harvard, BC, Tufts, Georgetown, Princeton) and it is sort of a motley collection of schools. I was looking for a bit more focus.
So far I really like Harvard (though who doesn’t, honestly?) and Princeton. I am planning on visiting Bates, Bowdoin, and Colby soon as well, to get a good taste of Classics in a smaller, liberal arts setting.

Again though, a focus on higher-echelon classics schools would be great.

Thanks a lot!
