[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking forward to you not supporting that study abroad proclamation. [/quote]

Here's one of many links to websites showing that more students study abroad from smaller schools than bigger ones.  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/most-study-abroad

Many small schools go out of their way to tout studying abroad on their websites because they know that applicants worry (with good reason) about the claustrophobia of having to spend four years in a small environment in the middle of nowhere.  It's kind of ironic -- I mean, if the education and social experience provided by these schools is so awesome and special, then why do you need to get away? -- but it makes sense.

I studied abroad, btw, and so did all of my kids (all of whom attended top-ranked schools, big and small).  I recognize the inherent value of studying abroad, obviously.  I'm just saying that the reason why it's more prevalent in smaller schools is obvious.

Correlation, not causality. You should’ve studied harder. [/quote]

You know it's true.  It's not a knock on small schools.  They're not perfect.  Not even the CTCL ones!  :)[/quote]
