[quote=Anonymous]I went to a well-regarded, massive public university where I received a great education for a tremendous value. If we were still in-state, there's a good chance my DC would have gone to the same school. But it's insane to me that a certain segment of DCUM (or perhaps it's just one or two posters) have such a monomaniacal antipathy for LACs. Or that they simply cannot understand how anyone would choose an LAC over a top university. One's head needs to be buried deep within their own fundament to repeatedly seek out new threads to make such proclamations.

Anyhow, my DC chose Pomona over Brown and Dartmouth and other LACs. DC liked all three schools, but Pomona had better financial aid, a preferable location, and overall better vibes for DC during admitted student visits. I don't think Pomona is better or worse than either Ivy. Each has advantages and disadvantages and it's mostly delusional try to cram them into any kind of rigid hierarchy. No regrets two years later.[/quote]
