Lots of people have heard of these schools. It’s a social indicator that you haven’t.

This. Anyone who hasn’t heard of these schools is from flyover country. Or likely not college-educated, if they live on the East Coast.

The reality is people including the educated only know about research institutions. The only people who know about slacs is the people who went to slacs which is minuscule in comparison to the people going to normal universities.

I went to Brown for undergrad and MIT for grad and Middlebury is a great school - fabulous language program and great placement for law and med. Very generous student aid.

If you haven't heard of these schools, then you are the one in the bubble.

+2 If you haven’t heard of these schools it is probably because you are an immigrant, your parents didn’t go to college (you are first gen) or you are middle class and attended your local public college (state flagship, etc).

What do you mean they are hard to excel at?

Ok! Getting back to the original question. I am a grad of one of these schools. The Vermont vibe is a bit different from Maine and I think Middlebury is considered most prestigious - more influenced by Burlington in terms of hippie vibe in the town nearby, but also excellent language programs, climate / energy classes, and strong English department.

Bowdoin also wonderful - outdoorsy, down to earth, strong classes across the spectrum, strong sports.

Lol keep telling yourself that. Enjoy paying off that 280k as a Starbucks barista.

Again, this is very telling. The kids who go to these schools aren’t paying off $280k. Either their parents just paid the tuition straight up (many of them without giving it a second thought because it’s nothing to them) or they got tons of need based aid.

Recent grad again here. I can confirm that financial aid is generous! At least worth applying to find out.

I work for a top research organization and we hire graduates of top state institutions at same or higher rate than graduates of these schools.

Op, as you have probably figured out by now, you will have to go elsewhere for any useful information on these excellent schools

To be fair these schools are much smaller.

Very, very accomplished cohorts of students and a high level of academics. Rising to the top there requires "A" game.
