[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people like small schools. some people like city schools. some people like big schools, some people like rural schools. It is not a competition for which if them is right, to each their own. People have stated why they liked their small rural school, others have said that cannot possibly be true. Ok.  So just ignore the noise from other posters OP. The reason people like small, rural schools is because it fosters and extremely close community, even with professors. At my small rural college, we regularly had "classes" at my professors house.  There is a much different community feel when its the college and basically nothing else. No one is saying it's better for everyone, but that is what people liked about it.

My school would probably have been too small for my DD who attends UVA. I would have likely felt lost at a school like UVA. To each their own.[/quote]

This. I went to a big state sports school and loved it fiercely.

[b]My sibling went to a very small LAC and thrived precisely because of the things you mention (dinner parties with professors' families and visiting scholars).[/b]

Different strokes, which is what makes the world go round.[/quote]

What school?[/quote]

A lot of people don't name LACs because there may be only a handful of alumni in the area--it feels too identifying.[/quote]
