[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the South. When I look at the successful people around me- doctors, lawyers, investment advisors, business people, teachers- most of them attended the state flagship or neighboring state flagships. That’s what our kids are exposed to.  I don’t think most people have anything “against” LAC’s. It’s more a situation of LAC’s not being on most people’s radar screens in the first place. (And even state flagships have a “college of arts and sciences” or some equivalent. [/quote]

That is the earlier posts point.  All, if not most, undergraduate education is done in a “liberal arts college” outside of engineering and business.  What NESCACs provide is the college experience that John Harvard envisioned when finding Harvard College.  Schools for the sole purpose of an undergraduate education.  If liberal arts colleges are such jokes why do all Universities have them in a variation off this model? Why do liberal arts college graduates per capita attend medical schools, PhD programs, and other graduate school programs at a higher rate than most “university” graduates?  [/quote]
