[quote=Anonymous]It seems your issue is private colleges or OOS high tuition colleges vs instate options. That's very different than SLAC v. university. My DC is at an OOS flagship university that costs nearly the same as my DC at a SLAC. She is majoring in an academic subject (not in a professional school). So from a value perspective there isn't much difference in my view. The university does have a good career office, name recognition, and alumni network but not sure yet if that will translate into job prospects if you aren't in engineering or business. So then it comes down to small v. large. One of my kids wanted small, the other large.

Some people claim the undergraduate teaching at SLACs is better. I think that used to be true. I am not sure it is still true based on my kids experiences.

If you live in a state with good instate options and the school offers what your child is interested in then certainly that should be considered relative to a SLAC, an OOS school, or a large private university.[/quote]
