[quote=Anonymous]I know lots of professors at name schools. Their preference for any academic-minded kid is always SLAC for undergraduate, Ivy or Ivy-like for graduate school. For what it’s worth, I have one kid at a top-ranked public and another at a top-ranked SLAC. There is no question, the SLAC has the more intense academics, professor relationships, and study-minded peers. Of course, that’s not the experience everyone wants, but for those who do, that’s the target-rich environment. And no, the SLAC kid doesn’t find the school too small. When the students are first-rate and like-minded, it’s easy to make a lot of friends. And what’s better than doing what you love with other people doing the same? Would you rather have 2000 people around you focused on the same goal or 20,000 people, 80% of whom are not focused on the same goal, and you have to find your people?[/quote]
