<p>From the schools on your list, I'm assuming that places like Wesleyan and Vassar are reaches?</p>
<p>Have you looked at Goucher, Wheaton College (Mass), and Skidmore? They're all liberal and open-minded. Skidmore is bigger (about 2000), Goucher has 1300, Wheaton about 1500 I think. Some other very liberal schools include Bard and Sarah Lawrence. Of the above schools, Goucher and Wheaton are probably on par with Muhlenberg or Ursinus in terms of selectivity.</p>
<p>I wouldn't call any of the schools on your list particularly liberal. Muhlenberg is probably the most open-minded but it's still pretty preppy. Ursinus is even more preppy. Qunnipiac is Catholic - liberal in its way but lots of Catholic students. Don't know about Juniata but my sense is that it attracts career-oriented students from middle class PA families. Susquehanna is the same.</p>
<p>Of course, what one person considers "liberal" can vary immensely --- I'd suggest a visit to each school to see if they're fits for you.</p>
