[quote=Anonymous]New poster here, with a kid who is a HS senior and attending a SLAC next year. If you're really talking top 10 SLAC v. state flagship honors, and not in a technical or engineering field, then I really think the decision is more about what kind of experience your kid wants. A top 10 SLAC all but guarantees that classes will be small and discussion based, that professors will know your kid personally (even if your kid is not the "star" in the class), and that your kid will have a sense of community with the entire school. The state flagship honors program may provide that, or it may not. And if your kid is not a "small fish, big pond" kind of kid, he or she may feel lost on a campus of 20,000+, even with the efforts that an honors program makes to create a smaller environment. For my kid, it was a no-brainer. He was looking at SLACs, many of which had a smaller student population than his "W" high school.[/quote]
