[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid (who just graduated from an SLAC) had many more leadership and research opportunities then she would have at a large public. The community is so small that no one goes unnoticed (in a good way). She really emerged and shone.

Plus, because there are only undergrads to staff the labs, she had her choice of research opportunities and parlayed that into  3 or 4 peer reviewed publications as an undergrad. I doubt that would have happened at a large RO1 university.[/quote]

Although I see more advantages in attending private National Universities and large public honors colleges than small, rural, isolated LACs, I do think that the above post presents a reasonable position. The post indicates that there is less competition at his or her kid's SLAC which has some advantages and benefits. [/quote]

What about SLACs in urban areas? [/quote]

What SLACs are in urban areas? Macalaster in a more suburban part of St Paul. Love to know about other ones.[/quote]
