[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bottom line is that very few people outside of Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic upper middle class areas have heard of these schools.  There are so many other options that people are interested in—higher ranked slacs and, of course, big state universities.  It’s great that attendance at one of these places seems to have helped get some folks here where they wanted to be in life—wealthy or whatever.  But it is what it is in terms of name recognition and prestige.  Not much of either.[/quote]

Why are you so obsessed with prestige?  SLACs like these give a great college education and are a completely different experience than huge state colleges.  I went to a similar college and basically knew everyone on campus.  The head of the math department added a class because a handful of us expressed interest.  That's not the kind of college many people like, but there's no argument that it can result in an excellent education and career opportunities.
