Austin College and Southwestern College in Georgetown, TX are both listed in the Colleges That Change Lives. CTCL schools tend to be LACs that focus on the actual teaching of the undergraduates rather than on graduate/professional education and/or research.

Rice is 41 on the Forbes list. IMO, this is way too low considering the caliber of that school. SMU is 186. Southwestern is ranked at 133.
