Where would I fit in?

You may have to compromise on the seamless town/gown relationship. At most of these places either the town is so small as to be a non-entity or just doesn’t have a lot of young people (I counted four senior citizens centers, four churches and a synagogue all within a three-block radius of Wesleyan.) Amherst comes closest to what you want, but, I wouldn’t count on biking to any of the other colleges in the area.

I have two slightly off-beat suggestions: 1) Barnard; the place is never completely bereft of men and the Morningside Heights neighborhood is very much a part of the scene there, and, 2) Davidson (NC) - the town seems to have a unique relationship with the college that bears its name - they actually like each other!
