[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know about all of DCUM, but I’m hoping my kids will choose an SLAC for the small class sizes, to be taught by the actual professors with Ph.Ds rather than the graduate assistants, for great alumni networks and a real sense of community. Also many of them are beautiful campuses without the unwanted distractions of city life.[/quote]

Yup. My child just started at a large university and, while it’s been fine, a couple of things recently are upsetting me, things that would never happen at a SLAC. She’s supposed to register for spring classes next week and meet with an advisor first but all of her advisor’s time slots are full and classes fill up fast  so she can’t just pick any classes then transfer into the ones she needs later. The health center is fully booked and she’s sick so she’s not getting the care she needs. Finally, there’s been a lot of crime around her urban campus. I’m really wishing she were in the small NE school where I went and where these things would not occur.[/quote]
