[quote=Anonymous]Agree with all posters so far, based on my kid’s experience at a 3000+ LAC (after graduating from a 2000-student HS). My kid likes that he always knows someone in his class, which was not at all my experience at a large state university. He also has friends across years, especially from activities, so it really is a 3000-person community, not just the 800 in his class. Also agree that 1600 is very small; none of the schools on your list is quite that small. You might look at Wesleyan and Middlebury, both of which are on the larger side for SLACs. I’d also be thoughtful about location—a very small school in a remote location (e.g. Williams) might feel more limited/isolating. Vassar, Swarthmore, and Pomona don’t have that issue. And Pomona also has the advantage of being part of the 5Cs, which have about 8000 total.[/quote]
