Liberal arts college for math?

I'd be interested to hear more about Drew. How is the peer group there? Is the neighborhood pleasant?

A concern with Drew might be its paucity of math majors, with just 8 graduating in a recent year:

For perspective, LACs with notably strong math communities may graduate 30 or more math majors annually.

Why?

From the other new thread.

St Olaf has a semester in Budapest, and does not expect pre-PhD pure math students to sit through multivariables calculus before covering it in abstract real analysis class.

However, multivariable calculus is not a typical prerequisite for courses in real analysis or modern algebra.

Eh just depends on the LAC's size. Many are much larger than others. In general, Drew isn't a good college, so I wouldn't recommend it for that clear reason.

More nonsense from some clueless random DCUM prestige whore.

Budapest semesters is not special to specific schools; anyone can apply.

Math in Moscow is another option, although it's online now.

The burden of proof is ok the one claiming Drew is an unusually good university for a highly talented mathematics student.

St Olaf is a good option for music, math, or CS.

O, it isn’t. Especially in the face of the tool making ridiculous negative statements.

I concur with this as the objectionable issue. In any case, I believe Drew was recommended largely based on its suburban setting, an aspect of stated importance to the OP.

+1, this gets recommended all the time by parents here who know nothing about undergrad math education

I know a mathematician at a public university who raves about a few liberal arts colleges, including Williams and Macalester.

Nothing special about Williams math department. Most overhyped part of DCUM.
