Underappreciated Colleges

From my school, most LACs are underappreciated–even the tippy-top ones. Most people are drawn to schools by their name appeal, and we live pretty close to some very good schools (i.e. Berkeley), so a lot of people go there. But more people went to MIT from my school last year than to all the Claremont Colleges combined (5-ish vs. 3-ish). That being said, we do have people who go to Wellesley/Pomona/Swarthmore/other LACs, just not many for a big school.
