For me, this would be it. I am assuming rural includes college towns. You would have to expand the photo to pick up the nearby Shenandoah (sp) Mountains.
I haven't seen that many, unless I've applied to them or was going through their town. I would have to add this one, too. It's next to Lake Champlain and a pretty decent school to boot.
I would imagine there are other beautiful colleges in northern Michigan, in upstate NY, and in New England. Surprisingly, I don't think Western America's rural colleges match the scenery and character of those in the East.
Since when is rigor a function of acceptance rate?
It's not. Harvard and Stanford accept practically nobody, yet have the highest retention rates. Was just asking about UCSB. Grew up within 100 or so miles of it and did not know much about it. The first things people mentioned were 1) beach location, 2) Isla Vista, and 3) parties. I am sure there were some awesome academic options for those who were willing to "close down" the library.
I'm told by a grad that Harvard will do almost anything to keep someone, once that person is accepted. One could see that as supportive and proper, or passing them through the system.
Or for 'Public' and Left Coast, (medium sized town) WWU, Bellingham, WA (or their Fairhaven Campus(dinky 'quaint' town next door)), if you need the freedom to create you own major) https://www.google.com/search?q=Bell...w=1260&bih=739
Carleton's campus is nicer then St. Olaf's but Olaf isn't bad.
Carleton's campus is nicer from an outdoors aspect (though St. Olaf's is certainly nice).
St. Olaf's campus is nicer from an architectural aspect (though Carleton's is also certainly nice -- they just built more during the architectural dead-zone of the 1950s-1970s).
