This post expands a bit on the comments on Hamilton posted earlier:

Hamilton vs. Wake Forest

Hamilton, in Brief Legacy of having been two colleges of complementary characteristics and emphases manifests in enhanced academic, social, spatial and architectural dimensions and balance. Access to suburban amenities, proximity to Adirondacks. Academically strong across humanities and fine arts, sciences and math and social sciences. Rarefied student profile. I know some people who don’t like snow, but I’m not sure I trust them — find your inner Buck. Surrounding area of ~10,000 residents among the safest locations anywhere, with zero violent crime reported in a recent year. A writers’ college, for those who wish to enhance this skill.
