[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the consensus is pretty much that small-to-medium size private schools are better than public schools, almost always, unless your kid wants a big school atmosphere, and/or wants to go into engineering at a public school that ranks higher.[/quote] It depends on what you value in education. For me, it’s the small discussion based classes; learning to read, write and communicate; the professor interactions; the small residential community. I do think that for is very important with these schools though. You need to do a lot of legwork and put a lot of care into finding the right school, because small schools can’t do everything well, and a fine arts kid is going to get a lot less out of a school with strong athletics, and vice versa. It’s less about the name and ranking and more about the handful of excellent English professors and the thriving arts scene or whatever your kid wants. [/quote]
