| Dartmouth is commonly known as a "big SLAC". |
Anonymous
| That is actually a term… |
Anonymous
Yes because it is exactly like an SLAC, - except it has graduate colleges - and is an R1 research facility - and has several undergraduate colleges with different admissions standards, one of which is a liberal arts college, as nearly every university has ...meaning it is nothing like an LAC. At all. |

It's very similar to Amherst. |

DP. Well-known in academic circles, not strivers. |

PP clearly does not know what a university is. |
