[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if LACs are so great, why do so few students--just 5%--attend LACs and why are so many LACs struggling financially and desperate for students ?

Of course, the most elite LACs--SLACs--are fine, but the remaining 90% are not.[/quote]

That’s simply not true.

Have you read this article ? It is nothing article that points out--correctly--that one can obtain a liberal arts education at a National University if one so desires. The article does not address the financial health and declining enrollment numbers at the 223 LACs.

If one desires a liberal arts education, it can be obtained at almost any and every National University.[/quote]

Nice of you to cherry pick. A liberal arts education is quite different between a LAC and a large NU. Not saying one is better than the other as it depends on the student.[/quote]
