[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a NESCAC and don't want to get specific because I think it's the same everywhere.[b]But a warning to those of you looking at colleges that if you're not on a team or in a singing group or theatre group, your social life will be trying to find those few others on campus who aren't affiliated with a big team or club[/b]. The club activities are not steady enough to create any kind of real bond. And the teams are so exclusionary -- they eat together and party together. It sucks. We were attracted to these schools because of their size, but they wind up feeling like high school, only less mingling. [/quote]

I think this is wrong.  SLACs offer so much entertainment and clubs, etc.  I have to say this is OP's child's issues with the new school.  A SLAC, like a University, can offer only so much.  If the kid doesn't bite, that's not the fault of the institution - and I say that as someone who attended a small SLAC and huge university for law school, married to a slac husband, with Slac and University children.
