[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SLAC posters refuse to acknowledge the realities of today regarding both LACs and National Universities.

SLAC hucksters might gain more credibility if they named the supposed "large public university" that is trashed in various posts. LAC people won't name the schools because then their assaults could be addressed in a mature, reasonable, and factual manner.

Anyone who wants small intro classes and  immediate attention from professors at a "large public university" just needs to join or be admitted to that large public university's Honors College. Getting to know a professor is as simple as meeting that prof during his or her office hours--whether or not a student in the honors college.

Many public universities offer a variety of honors options as well as living-learning communities which are open to students who share a common interest.

There is not one “large public university” that everyone is trashing. Various posters are sharing their experiences at various universities. You seem to refuse to acknowledge that some people don’t want to attend a large school, just as some people don’t want to attend a small one. Why do you continue to act like there is only one way to attend college. Not everyone wants to be part of the honors college or live in a living and learning community.

For what it’s worth, my experience at UMD was not enjoyable and friends share the same feelings about Penn State and VA Tech. However, plenty of others loved their experiences at each of these schools.

Seriously, do what works for you and stop criticizing people who make different choices. [/quote]
