[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the list has lost meaning as some of these schools are now struggling. Look at this https://apple.news/AlZoc9AHiQ0CdUdlpzOCRbg[/quote]

Tiny classes and fantastic student-faculty ratio

in a school that's struggling.  If you are not a senior, I would be concerned that the school may shut down while you are there, or professors let go, or you major shut down.[/quote]

Right. That's why not every slac is a good idea. Some are a risk. But there are also plenty of stories of slacs that have been on the verge of shutting down that rebounded. Look at Hampshire, it's practically trendy again. (Not with the people you know, probably, but it is). Or, twenty years ago, Bard was a hot mess and now it's got half a billion and has quadrupled its enrollment. That's why it's important to look at finances and enrollments and bond ratings. Capital plans.

There are some slacs I'm not sure about. I like them on paper a lot, I like what they're trying to do and the departments dc wants to study, but I'm less sure that they're not going to do some radical curriculum change in the next few years to draw more students that could eliminate things I like about them, or that some of the changes they've already made are working.

It would be really great if the poster who just doesn't know anything about slacs except that they dont like them could just move on. Or read and learn something. Ask questions. [/quote]
