[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a strong believe in a liberal arts education, I am saddened by the spate of closings, and likely increased closings, of SLACs around the country.

But let's be real, none of these SLACs are schools your average family in the DMV has ever heard of. And for your average snotty DCUMers, having to send their spawn to anyone of these SLACs would be a major stain on the family name.

The closing of these SLACs while regrettable, are actually a good thing for the SLACs that count (and I am casting a wide net, saying top 50).  Survival of the fittest.  Will increase interest and brand name of those SLACS that make it through.[/quote]

Just so you know, we live in the DMV, graduated from schools that folks on here think are highly competitive, and we have a graduating senior with serious anxiety deciding between many SLACs—none of which are in the top 50, so we are following this with interest.  We’ll check out Moody’s, but are interested in any info about which schools might go under.[/quote]
