[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Evergreen State College is the poster child for what’s wrong with the CTCL list.  It accepts virtually everyone who applies, a full one-third of its students are gone after freshman year, and only 1/3 of an entering class graduates in four years.  Why on earth would that school be selected out of hundreds if not thousands of no name state colleges as being a college that “changes lives?”  It’s just nuts, and it calls into question the entire list.

Every one of these schools needs to be judged on its own merits, and the list as a whole or as an aggregate needs to be thrown out the window. [/quote]

Evergreen was a much stronger school when the book first came out. If you looked at the beginning of the thread, you might see that we kind of covered this topic: that some of the schools on the list are more or less attractive than they were. Someone also added a new list that includes schools that should probably considered by those of us considering ctcl[/quote]
