[quote=Anonymous]Aside demo the factors you noted, OP, there’s so much more to a LAC’s school’s culture.

Some schools are warmer more social than others. Some are known as sweatshops. (Looking at you Swat). Some have more school traditions and are more campus-based. Others are more cosmopolitan, part of a broader multi-college community. Swat, for example, has a partnership that allows students to take courses at Penn, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr. What are the dynamics between professors and students? What kind of research opportunities? (Depending on field can matter a lot for PhD candidates). Arts/culture? Access to whatever form of entertainment/relaxation that’s important to your student?

The only way your student will get a sense of the culture is to visit campuses and talk to students or recent grads.it’s worthwhile to figure it out. A fulfilling college experience is so different than one where you’re gritting your teeth to just get through. While transfers are always possible they can be disruptive.[/quote]
