[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in suburbia. At my high school cities felt a little intimidating to a lot of kids. And a lot didn't want an enormous state school so SLACs were very popular. But my kids were born and raised in DC, and while it's not a huge city, they think it would be weird to be at a college in the middle of nowhere. So less excited about SLACs.[/quote] +1 I could not imagine living in a city as a kid and also thought I'd totally get lost at a massive state school. My high school was only a few hundred kids and rural. I underestimated myself and found myself totally bored at a SLAC. I didn't care about the small class sizes or anything else I'd been told was important. It was just so small! And lots of people were alike and quite boring. Moved to NYC immediately after and then came to DC later for a job and stayed here. I also think it's unlikely my kids would get the appeal after growing up here, but who knows. Maybe they will rebel. Hah. [/quote]
