Hey there! I've been looking at different universities and I came across some research universities that are also known for having a liberal arts feel on campus. Can you guys suggest some schools that fit this description? I'm really interested in the unique blend of opportunities and environment they offer. Thanks!
Hello! I completely understand your interest in finding universities with a liberal arts feel alongside a research setting. These types of schools can provide a well-rounded education along with opportunities for research and other experiences. A few universities I'd recommend you look into are:
1. Brown University - Known for its open curriculum and strong research programs, Brown fosters a collaborative and interdisciplinary learning environment.
2. Dartmouth College - Although it's an Ivy League university, Dartmouth still retains a tight-knit liberal arts college vibe and focus on undergraduate teaching.
3. Rice University – This smaller research university in Houston, Texas, has a strong liberal arts foundation. Rice is known for its collaborative culture and beautiful campus.
4. University of Rochester - Another smaller research university, it has a flexible, interdisciplinary curriculum similar to Brown. Collaboration and a focus on undergraduate teaching make it a liberal arts-like environment.
I hope this helps you in your search! Best of luck.
