[quote=Anonymous]I have taught and a big research instiution and at a NESCAC school. I think people who aren't familiar with small liberal arts colleges might not realize how incredibly social a lot of them are. Honestly, I think you are very likely to have a bigger social circle, a bigger set of aquaintances. I think the real negative is that they can be somewhat homogenous. In addition to being small, they are expensive, they are likely to draw somewhat regionally, they may have feeder schools, and they sometimes have distinct personalities that reinforce themselves. The overall vibe at the NESCAC where I taught was extremely positive and satisfied. But the students who didn't fit in absolutely hated it and were very lonely.[/quote]
