I graduated from a LAC and somehow came out as a full-fledged adult who grew a lot from HS. College is college. Going to a college in a big city or with thousands of other students does not necessarily prepare you better for the real world. Yes, i lived in a dorm for 4 years but by September after graduation I was living in a city, taking public transit, paying rent and utilities. The LAC bashers make it sound like you graduate from a LAC with no life skills. Sorry I didn't have to camp out in the middle of a Michigan winter to get the classes I needed. |
The delusion is strong in this one. |
The delusion is even stronger in this one. |
Her state school education clearly did not imbue her with the skills to stay productive, or on topic. |
Still mad about being excluded from the Jedi Council, which only allows younglings to attend SLACs. |
You can't reason with MAGA....refer to them as they truly are. Idiots, clowns and fools full of beliefs based on their feelings not reality. |
DP. It certainly rings true for me. I attended a LAC and after my boyfriend and I had a messy breakup, life was miserable. Everyone knew about it, and I had to see him ALL the time. It was awful and looking back, I wish I had seen that as an opportunity to transfer out of that fishbowl and into a bigger school. |
UGH. I'm neither poster you're referring to, but your smug condescension is not a good look. At all. |
DP. WTAF does "MAGA" have to do with this discussion? Are you unable to discuss anything without dragging politics into it? I don't think one person mentioned their political beliefs. Which makes you look like an idiot, clown, and fool. |
I really don’t understand people who need it to be either/or. My kids chose LACs, but they likely would have been happy at universities too.
It’s so weird that instead of appreciating the abundance of great schools, and the abundance of types of schools (how lucky are we?), grown-ass adults are sitting around insulting one another as they argue about which type of school is “better.” It’s not a binary choice, nor is it a universal one. Education isn’t a static, simple, one-way consumer experience. Should we argue next about which church congregation is best? Which variety of tree? Which type of fruit? (Well, actually the answer to that is clear: the best fruit is mango). Sometimes there’s no right answer. There are just different answers. |
Your kids go to a trash clown college that’ll probably go bankrupt in the next 5 years. |
You seem nice. Have a great night. |
Some people like a small environment, others don't. There are ways to make a large university seem smaller, but there aren't as many ways to make a small college seem larger. Some factors could be the size of the city that it's in or the study abroad opportunities. |
Because, as you can see from the person who responded saying your kids go to a “trash clown college,” this is not a bunch of grown-ass adults. |
