[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?

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

Written like a fifth grader. Where did you go to college?[/quote]
