[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to look at the date this thread began, and yep — it's that same old 2021 thread that some weird LAC-hater keeps reviving.

Once again! Different schools are great for different kids. Big universities are ideal for some undergraduates. And for many others, LACs are kind of the platonic ideal of college: small classes taught by dedicated professors, and a community where you won't get lost in a sea of students.

And I don't just mean the Amhersts and Pomonas, but even a lot of LACs slightly lower on US News's rankings can be terrific for the right undergraduate. I've had colleagues and friends who went to places like Beliot, Knox, Whitman, Sarah Lawrence, Bard, etc. who are very smart, even-keeled, happy adults who've had great career tracks. (Some but not all did grad school.)

I guess by making this comment, I'm keeping this thread alive even more. But jeez, quit the axe-grinding. [/quote]
I’m assuming the anti-LAC posts are either an algorithm or some underpaid content farmer trying to dream up pot stirring content (like many of the posts on DCUM the follow the “I think [idiotic opinion]. Discuss.” formula.  I can’t imagine actual functioning adults caring enough about other parents’ college choices to create a thread about it.  [/quote]

i think it’s the reverse. an LAC troll creating threads when people do not give two shits about LACs[/quote]

Then why do you engage? Are you so insecure that you can't handle the thought that you made a bad decision? Your kid will be fine at Towson.[/quote]

this is why you’re insufferable. you cope and think you’re talking to people who are dumber than you when it’s the reverse. Dunning kruger in full effect. No thanks karen - my kid went to princeton. did not give two shits about LACs which are cluttering this forum and the unemployment line.[/quote]

Someone used Dunning-Kruger a bit earlier and now you have a new toy. Your kid couldn’t pick up trash at Princeton much less attend there. Your continued engagement tells us all that we need to know.[/quote]

Cope more with your overpriced shithole college you now are responsible for paying for.  Keep deluding yourself that people aren't superior to you in intellect and pedigree.[/quote]
