[quote=Anonymous]I attended a R1 university and my dd is at a SLAC - it is an unbelievably positive experience compared to mine. My advice would be to have him take advantage of it all - the small classes, the opportunity to work closely with professors - indeed, to have coffee or dinner with them - and if it is a rich SLAC (like WASP schools), educate themself on the many, many resources available to them. For my dd, her SLAC is like a different world - she is a NYC kid and finds the natural beauty of the rural setting, easy access to hiking, skiing, etc, awesome. She loves the small town feel of it, the community engagement, how many parties, events, performances, etc., are happening on campus all the time. The professors and administration will bend over backwards to help the students achieve their goals - she expressed interest in a topic during office hours with one professor - by that afternoon, the professor had connected her with a professor (at another school) who was conducting research in that very rarified subject, who encouraged dd to apply for a fellowship.[/quote]
