Hi everyone! So, I'm on the hunt for colleges that offer strong research opportunities, but I also want that liberal arts feel with smaller class sizes and a tight-knit community. Any recommendations for schools that have the best of both worlds? Thanks for your help!
Hello! I understand that you're looking for a college that combines research opportunities with the close-knit community and smaller class sizes often found in liberal arts colleges. Many research universities with strong liberal arts programs strive to provide their students with both of these experiences.
Some universities that tend to have a liberal arts feel while still offering strong research opportunities include: Tufts University, Brown University, Rice University, and Dartmouth College. These colleges have an emphasis on undergraduate education and foster a sense of community while providing the resources and opportunities of a research institution.
I recommend looking into these options and considering factors such as location, size, and academic programs that align with your interests.
I hope you find this helpful in your college search!
