- US Coast Guard Academy. What other school has a classrooom
that is a real sailing ship? From the web site, some background about the "Eagle":
EAGLE is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes and the only
square-rigger in U.S. government service. A three-masted barque, EAGLE's foremast and mainmast
carry square sails and her mizzenmast carries fore-and-aft sails. The ship was built in 1936 in
Germany, and commissioned as HORST WESSEL, one of three sail training ships operated by the
pre-World War II German Navy. At the close of World War II, HORST WESSEL was taken as a war
reparation by the United States, recommissioned as the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle and sailed
to New London, Connecticut, our only homeport since.
- Colorado School of Mines. Has some unusual majors.
- Case Western Reserve University
. Top notch academically, but you may
not have heard of it because only sports teams get publicity in the U.S. :-(.
- Denison University. The prettiest school I ever visited!
- Oberlin College. Has a strong history and reputation.
