[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]

Got it - not an algorithm, but a poorly paid human who is not sufficiently familiar with American English to know that we typically write “a LAC.”   I wonder if Jeff pays by the post for this dreck or pays by engagement metrics. [/quote]
