When did you go? It's not a LAC anymore.

Of course it is. https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2022/10/whats-the-point-of-liberal-arts-school

You aren’t going to get a nursing degree or a business degree as a undergrad at Dartmouth. You will get a liberal arts education. You will take courses from the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. You will study a foreign language. It’s a liberal arts education. And the alumni will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way. Because there are those who love it.

I went to a liberal arts college with about 10k students and our course requirements included a broad core that was flexible in specific courses but required they cover defined areas.

Where is this? And what are some other LACs with more than around 3000 students?

The largest LACs that I know are Colgate, Bucknell, and Wesleyan University. These are in the 2900 to 3500 student range.

Richmond is also in that range.
