[quote=Anonymous]Thinking of LAC’s as “safe bubbles” for kids who might need extra support can be misleading. Yes, they can offer smaller, more personal learning environments. However, they come with some of the same adjustments and temptations that face all college students. Not only that, but many LAC’s are in remote areas, far away from certain sources of support and community- family, health, cultural. It’s really up to the kid to make/find their support system. I went to a rural LAC several states away from where I grew up and I thought I was pretty independent/adventuresome. My kid is at an in-state urban university- near family and friends who live nearby and/or attend nearby colleges. Their comfort zone and the type of support they wanted was different from mine.
