[quote=Anonymous]College prof here, who attended both a liberal arts college (for undergrad) and research university for MA/PhD. I wouldn't decide on a college based upon your anecdotal survey of employment after college graduation. I would, however, consider a couple of different factors. First, if your child knows what she wants to major in (and this isn't necessarily important at this stage, unless she is premed, which has a lot of science requirements that need to be started in the first year), then choose a school with the strongest undergraduate reputation in that field. Otherwise, choose the school that has the best overall reputation. A top liberal arts college grad is far more likely to have fulfilling employment or chances at admission to a top graduate program than a graduate from a mediocre university.[/quote]
