1. Too small 
2. Doesn't have name recognition
3. Remote Locations

My '26 DD - who had no interest in the rah rah state flagship experience - also had no interest in a SLAC.

They are a "normie" but their concerns were:
1. Social divide between athletes and the quirky students - she wasn't going to be an athlete and was worried that would limit her friend group especially if athletes mainly stick to other athletes.

2. She wanted something a larger than her high school.

3. She wanted a cute town that was within walkable distance.

4. She felt the SLACs just didn't have the name recognition

She is going to a mid-sized university in the fall. I do think the mid-sized schools will be getting more students that are like my daughter.

I see some of the SLACs that would probably be put in the struggling category and I am seeing a lot more "diner goth" type students than at other schools. The more "diner goth" type students, the more "normal" type students wouldn't find that school to be a good social fit and the death spiral continues.[/quote]

Can you share where she is going next year? Her criteria are EXACTLY the same as my junior.[/quote]
