[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I agree with OP. And I think that the pro-LAC argument often mischaracterizes faculty-undergrad relationships at top-tier major research universities. That said, no matter where "there" is, you can get there from either a LAC or a major research university. Much depends on learning style and whether you find a department and/or faculty that inspires you as an undergrad. And THAT probably only matters if you really want to be an academic. (I am; my kid probably will be.) Most kids aren't intellectual and are going to college for the credential. Choosing the school with the highest % of NMSFs (or some better metric for undergrad brainpower) makes no sense unless your kid is him/herself a brainiac who needs a competitive cohort to thrive. ((And that category represents a small subset even of brainiacs, LOL!)). [/quote]
