[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The US has over 5000 colleges. [/b] Can we spend 8 pages debating each one of them?  That way everyone on the forum has a chance to dredge up irrelevant past anecdotes and make up their own stories.[/quote]

There really are not too many LACs like Middlebury - maybe a few (Bates, Haverford, Colby, and a couple of others) so I don't think your point is all that persuasive. [/quote]

[b]There are many, stupid. Educate yourself[/b]. [/quote]

There are 5,000 colleges in the U.S but it is apples and oranges to compare these schools to an elite LAC. [/quote]

Do you honestly think their Physics or English course is elite, compared to another college’s same courses? You think the syllabus is more elite? The professor more elite?

[b]No, they aren’t. The kids being from wealthy families is the only thing that makes it elite compared to other colleges. [/b] Maybe their PR department is elite too [/quote]

I don't think you're the one who said "there are many, stupid."  So I'm waiting for the names of colleges like Middlebury.  Cost, acceptance rate, SAT/ACT range etc.

But to answer your question it's ranked #5 LAC in the U.S. so I guess that's fairly elite, unless you have a different definition of that word.
I guess you'd agree Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford and Columbia are elite?[/quote]
