[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why anyone choose a school with so few students, so few professors, so few classes, so few options. And they are usually in the middle of the woods. And it's typically cold. Four years of that. And people choose this. Baffling.[/quote]

Greater accessibility of professors, not relying on first time grad students to teach, better feedback on assignments, smaller classes, working directly with profs rather than grad students on research projects, great matriculation at grad schools, 4 years of on campus living, campuses with plenty of nature, not having to apply to a major, more engaged alumni, easier time walking on to a sport, lasting relationships with faculty and administrators, less red tape when there’s a request or issue, less disruption of campus functions by large groups of unruly protesters, higher endowment per undergrad student than many (not all) universities…

No, the above isn’t an attempt to say LACs are fundamentally better than universities for everyone. They definitely are not. It’s simply a response to a poster asking why “anyone” would prefer an LAC.  [/quote]
