He might like Oberlin. It has a big arts scene and isn’t too far from Cleveland, OH. The application is free and there’s no essay so you might as well throw it in!

Of the top New England schools, Wesleyan is probably the least preppy and sporty. Again, there’s no application essay, so it’s super easy to toss in an application if you haven’t yet.

Amherst is a close second for not being prep-schoolish. It’s also more diverse than any of the New England schools (including Wes). I also agree with others about the good location—there are lots of college students in the area so the downtown is lively and catered to young people.

Wesleyan and Amherst both have open curriculums (like Brown) which very positive (in my opinion).
