I’d say that St. Olaf definitely fits that description as long as he is okay with the location.
Do a search of St Olaf on here and you will get some very detailed write ups that I think are pretty accurate. I just checked and there are pages of them. St. Olaf is one of those hidden gems that everyone loves, but somehow no one knows about
Here was our impression after visiting:
S23 is only interested in large flagships, but we stopped on our way from UMN to Iowa State. It definitely wasn’t the right school for him, for many factors that had nothing to do with how great the school was, but he absolutely loved their honor system (not academic honors but personal honesty) in everything from the bike and mug share to kids leaving their belongings outside of the dining hall. S23 goes to a New England boarding school and his take away was "this is exactly what I pictured and hoped boarding school would be like ". I guess it kind of fit both the aesthetic and academic stereotype of a cozy little enclave. It was also the only school S23 could imagine himself continuing his sport(s).
They have a well-known study abroad program and a high percentage of international students.
