I hear you, but my sons were both firm on wanting small places that were not pressure cookers where most of the student body is consumed with getting a 4.0 so that they can get ahead in the world. They are also somewhat introverted.
In addition, one of my sons has executive functioning issues. Not that this stopped him from getting mail from every Ivy school to apply to it. But he was not interested. More important to both that they applied to some other places which are known for really taking care of their students and making sure they will not get lost in the shuffle.
