<p>“hampshire? amherst? wesleyan? connecticut college? wheaton?” </p>
<p>Cool! One of my Christian friends wants to go to Wheaton, so I have to ask: are the students very religious?</p>
<p>“bard, colby, holyoke”</p>
<p>Never really considered Bard or Colby. Thanks!</p>
<p>Bard and Sarah Lawrence are both in NYC but might be worth looking at.</p>

<p>There are two different Wheatons. Wheaton in Illinois is fairly conservative and definitely Christian. I assume that poster was referring to Wheaton in Massachusetts, a good but not-super selective, fairly liberal LAC.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I forgot about the fact that there are two! Thanks! </p>
<p>Are there any other colleges that fit my criteria?</p>
<p>ahh i’m very sorry, i didn’t know you were american! but you got the message across. and i wasn’t referring to you specifically stereotyping americans, just sometimes that happens. also, i meant to emphasize “riot”… riot is chaos, looting in the streets, anger. protesting against something isn’t rioting. anywho i am sorry for the misunderstanding.</p>
<p>anyway, back to the original message. sarah lawrence might be good, but i kinda forgot that it’s not really “close” to rhode island, neither are colby, bard, etc. but the drive to RI wouldn’t be too bad</p>

bard and sarah lawrence are definitely not in NYC. you mean new york state?</p>
<p>“ahh i’m very sorry, i didn’t know you were american! but you got the message across. and i wasn’t referring to you specifically stereotyping americans, just sometimes that happens.”</p>
<p>It’s okay. I know it happens. </p>
<p>“the drive to RI wouldn’t be too bad”</p>
<p>Haaa I still have to learn how to drive…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure there were no /riots/. Riot means a group of people smashing windows and trying to harm people. There were anti-gay-marriage demonstrations (often are) but as someone who is interested in politics and follows the Washington Post, there were neither riots (that would be a Big Freaking Deal) nor any anti-gay-marriage demonstrations big enough to make the front page.</p>
<p>Haa, I got my word choice twisted up. </p>
<p>Riot = protest in my mind, mainly because I’ve never actually seen a riot before, so I think the word also applies to all protests.</p>
<p>^^ Lirazel is closer to the definition of riot. There is a definite difference from protests.</p>
<p>Add Lewis and Clark to the list.</p>
