[quote=Anonymous]As someone who went to a SLAC and is about to have a child start at a very large state university, the differences are stark. As others have said, most SLACs are like boarding schools in that they are small communities where there is not a lot of bureaucracy. You’ll have much better experiences, as a parent, interacting with the school and knowing what is what. In theory, housing and class selection should be a million times easier (I say in theory because I cannot speak for all schools, only my alma mater). As most SLACs are in small towns, you’ll have better peace of mind of your kid’s safety and know that should something go amiss, you’ll be able to speak to someone at the school fairly easily. As you may be able to tell, I would much prefer my kid were going to a SLAC over a big state school in a medium size city with crime issues and crazy stories about students having to scramble for classes and housing.[/quote]
