[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only a handful of LACs are worth the full price, and students who can get into them can get into T10/T20 universites, which are a much better investment in the long-term.[/quote]

[b]Is going to a LAC any different than going to say UVA College of Arts and Sciences?  And if you look at a LAC like Washington and Lee, they have a business school, and even a (limited) engineering program.  [/quote][/b]

UVA is a University.  William & Mary is still designated a College.[/quote]

William & Mary is a university.  It has many graduate programs, including law, business, and education.  It uses college because that was the name given in its royal charter.  Dartmouth College also is a university that uses "college".  The prior post actually mentioned Washington and Lee, not W&M.  Washington and Lee is usually cited as an LAC, but its name is [b]Washington and Lee University[/b].[/quote]

Nope.  Name is College of William & Mary.  Period.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_of_William_%26_Mary.  The Commonwealth of Virginia also calls it that. The SCHEV calls it htat.  http://www.schev.edu/docs/default-source/institution-section/6-year-plans/cwm/2017/cwm-2017-six-year-plan-part-iicbf7bb50bece61aeb256ff000079de01.pdf[/quote]

You bolded Washington and Lee University and responded with links about the name of the College of William and Mary.  If you read the description in the links you provided, you will see William & Mary is described as a university even though the name is College of William and Mary.  That was the point above.[/quote]
