Among liberal arts colleges, U.S. News and World Report ranks this Main Line school No. 9. Among all colleges and universities, Forbes says Haverford is No. 27 in the country. As far as under-graduate educations go overall, Haverford offers an unparalleled experience. If students are inclined to pursue studies off of this stunning campus (which, like Swarthmore, is also an arboretum), they are allowed to take classes at Tri-College Consortium partners Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore, as well as the University of Pennsylvania. Do not let the liberal arts description and small student body fool you: Haverford’s biology and physics departments are renowned across the country. 370 Lancaster Ave., Haverford, Pa., (610) 896-1000, haverford.edu
