Never heard of Bemedji, Humboldt, or Northern Arizona, and I’m a researcher in higher ed.

Humboldt State has a great reputation for biology and environmental science, less so for other things. Along with UC Davis, it’s sent more people to top grad programs in ecology than most other California schools I know of. It’s very laidback and has an absolutely gorgeous location.

I’ve heard NAU is decent for anthropology, but I don’t know anything more about it than that. There was a poster here (noimagination?) who has frequently posted about Bemidji State, but the only thing I’ve gathered is that it has a nice campus. A search through CC archives might prove helpful.

I’m looking for a college very close to lots of nature, with a very liberal campus, preferably smaller, and hardest to find… a reasonable out of state tuition. (15K is about the end of my budget)

Warren Wilson meets all of your criteria.

– A beautiful campus near the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains of NC
– Very liberal
– Small (1000 students)
– Dedication to financial aid and low income students as a Work College
