[quote=Anonymous]College professor here. I DO think the financial stability of the colleges you're considering is worth taking into account. While very few institutions are likely to go under, the completely elimination of some departments and majors is common these days under financial stress. Humanities departments and especially foreign languages are particularly vulnerable—the latter because while they serve many students at the intro level, they tend to have relatively few majors, and they tend to be disproportionately staffed by adjuncts, who are "disposable." So if your kid has interests in the humanities or in smaller fields, you should take a close look at colleges' resources and how they've been handling them.[/quote]
