[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sarah Lawrence and Vassar have no Greek life.  Both have strong academics, an intellectual environment and a funky/alternative vibe.

I agree that in many universities the greek life can get drowned out but if you want more of a focus on academics, and smaller classes (more seminars than lectures, more access to professors) a SLAC is the way to go.  I went to a University but DC is looking at SLACs and there's a part of me that wonders if i would have been happier in that kind of environment.[/quote]

A SLAC is a nice change of pace for a DC coming out if a large public school, but for someone coming out of the private schools in DC it's "more if the same."[/quote]

Actually, for many kids graduating from private schools, "more of the same" is just what they want -- more opportunities to get to know their classmates and professors well in a more collaborative and supportive environment where they're not pigeon-holed.  [/quote]

This is true.  And these same kids return to the DMV bubble upon graduation and live happily ever after - generation after generation.[/quote]

Do you have any statistical basis for claiming that SLAC grads are more likely to return to this area than grads of other schools?  Wouldn't it be more likely that grads who attend college in this area are more likely to stay here after graduation than, say, a graduate of a New England SLAC?          [/quote]
