[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps ten years ago or the NewYorker published an article about what college or university added the most value in terms of education and earning power for its graduates.  They normed the study for the socio-economic status of attendees, so schools got bonus points if poor kids did well after graduation.  The studies showed the Penn State was best the college or university for adding value.

Having said that, I think in terms of what students actually learn LACs generally out rank big universities because of the one-on-one exposure to the professors... this is the same rationale as sending your child to private school.  The lower the class size, the more comprehensive the learning experience.

So given my personal preference for LACs, I could say the most  prestigious, that are relatively easy to get in would be Reed, Oberlin, Lafayette, Colgate, etc.  Graduate and professional schools like to get kids from these school because of the quality of undergraduate education.  The downside is that these school are expensive.[/quote]
