[quote=Anonymous]The “strivers” comment is interesting. I don’t agree, but the simplicity of the statement gets to the heart of something important — about LACs, and I suspect about DCUM. Liberal arts colleges are modeled around the old Aristotelian notion of human flourishing — aspiring toward wisdom, not merely knowledge; nurturing the soul even as one nurtures the mind; studying broadly and deeply even when there’s no clear/tangible reason to do so; seeking not merely a career but a fulfilling life. It’s not a linear path, it doesn’t create a tidy ROI, it’s definitely not for everyone, and it seems like it’s not for several posters here. Which is fine! But I don’t agree that these schools don’t have strivers. I think it’s a different kind of striver. OP’s kid will have to decide what kind of striver they are. [/quote]
