Ignorant comment. LACs have incredible outcomes because they teach students how to think. Clearly you did not attend one.

Correct. I went to Yale. Heard of it? Most people outside of recruiters are not familiar with LACs.

That's complete nonsense. You sound like a rube, PP. Yes, Yale admits rubes.

It's actually a very nice, coherent list. Well-chosen. All will provide an excellent education.

One of the dumbest comments I’ve read here. Most students don’t go into graduate school from a lacrosse immediately and they do get jobs. Many have massive amounts of students in math and Econ. So sick of stupid people.

This is same as me, except I put Swarthmore as 1st.

Amherst - successful doctor
Williams - writer
Swarthmore - VP, hospital
Bates - teacher
Kenyon - philanthropist
Tufts - masseuse
Wesleyan - pilot
William & Mary (OOS) - insurance salesman
Hamilton - realtor

Haha I know grads from all of these too. Here’s my list:
Amherst: teacher (was in finance first but burnt out badly)
Williams: stay at home dad (adjunct professor before)
Swarthmore: social worker
Bates: ER nurse
Kenyon: dance professor
Tufts: stay at home mom (did nonprofit work before)
Wes: medical ethicist
W&M: speech pathologist
Hamilton: music professor

What's the end goal? Does the kid want to go to Wall Street or med school or become an English professor? It makes a big difference.

I personally would rank them -

Williams
Swarthmore
Tufts

They're good for anything you might want to do. Then -

Wesleyan
Amherst
William and Mary

Then, in no particular order -

Kenyon
Bates
Hamilton

Reported and you will be IP banned. Tired of this trolling. Vanderbilt was not an option and don’t play the victim now.

Agree with this.

I’d put Amherst and swat at the top, and really the rest are all fine choices.
