[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - are you really just patting yourself on the back for being able to send your child to the SLAC compared to the neighbor?  Or trying to justify your choice?

I noted above - smaller communities are able to adapt better in these types of crises. It's not private vs state or "getting what you pay for" - it's small vs large.[/quote]

OP here - Why is it acceptable for the large university boosters to discuss the irrelevance and lack of ROI of SLACs, but it isn't acceptable for those who see the value of an SLAC to point out the benefits of that academic community? My neighbor's child didn't have access to a COVID test on campus even though the university has the resources to do so. It is a lack of prioritization. My child ("grown adult") was able to take a test on campus within an hour. One campus is moving to online instruction, the other is (at least for now) not.

Within a COVID context, I believe access to healthcare and in-person instruction is important. My child's SLAC wouldn't pass the "ROI" test of many DCUMs but I believe there is more to the college experience than ROI.[/quote]

Omg who cares. Op, you are crazier than a loon. Who in their right mind wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars for a faster covid test??????[/quote]
