[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he want to study/do with his degree OP? Is he the kind of kid that will get lost at a bigger school or is he good at getting involved, asserting himself, pursuing opportunities? One big advantage of the SLACs is that they don't let your kid fail or hide in the back and never interact with professors. That's helped my kid at an SLAC a lot - I think he'd get lost and be invisible at a larger school like UVA. (and he chose his SLAC over being a UVA Echols scholar and I think it's been money well-spent)[/quote] He is thinking pre-med. I am less worried about him at the larger school compared to his older siblings, but I agree with you whole-heartedly on the closer student-faculty interaction at SLACs. He will get involved - or so we think. If the costs were comparable it'd be an easier decision to chose the private alternative, but with a six figure difference in the total four year cost, we are obviously torn.[/quote]
