Recently I had the opportunity to visit beautiful Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Home to over 2,000 students, the college is an easy drive from the capital, Harrisburg, and Carlisle is a lovely historic town with some very cool shops and restaurants. This is an outstanding liberal arts college, with terrific programs in English, political science, history, and more. More than anything however, I was bowled over by the school's commitment to global education and sustainability. International business is strong, study abroad is immensely popular, the school's farm provides food for the dining hall...students are simply focused on a wider world, and that makes Dickinson feel larger than it is. Philadelphia, D.C., Baltimore, and New York are also just a train ride away.
If you're willing to consider an outstanding college outside the southeast, I encourage you to see it for yourself. You'll have to see it to understand what I'm talking about.
