[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do these LACs compare to national universities? Is Williams HYPSM level? Are Bowdoin and Middlebury comperable to Duke and Northwestern? Or are they lower[/quote]

No, schools like Duke and Northwestern are simply on another tier above Bowdoin/Middlebury. Even Williams/Amherst would be right below Duke/Northwestern.[/quote]

Agree. More diversity, more options academically and socially. Great academic atmosphere due to presence of very serious graduate & professional students.

I cannot imagine anyone equating Middlebury or Bowdoin to National Universities ranked in the top 15 or 20. And the Wall street Journal/Times higher Education rating & ranking system appears to agree that the top ranked LACs (Amherst & Williams) rank at #22 and #23 when rated in a combined ranking of LACs and National Universities.

I am very familiar with all of the schools mentioned by the above quoted poster and know students at all of these schools currently and in the past. They are in two different leagues.
