[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Colleges That Change Lives are a group of 40 schools, put together (initially) by Loren Pope, who I believe was an education writer. The schools in the CTCL list are 1) typically small, with small classes, 2) focus on [b]undergraduate[/b] education, 3) provide unique experiences for students, 4) have accessible professors with few (if any) TAs teaching classes and 5) provide better than average financial aid. The schools run the gamut. There are religious schools (Hope, Wheaton, Hillsdale, which are all on my DD's list), some very well know (like Reed), but most are not. Juniate, Allegheny, Denison and Clark are also on her list. Also they generally have high acceptance rates. If you're looking for the tailgate/drunken Greek experience, these aren't the schools for you. We've been impressed with what we've seen about most of these schools. There are some that we'll definitely avoid (like Hampshire College and Antioch; too small and liberal).
