[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like SLACs are less popular now, with kids wanting large state schools, southern schools, USC and Vandy type schools etc. It seems like only a small percentage of kids (including mine) are open to the 3000 and under campuses[/quote]

I think this is true. --SLAC parent[/quote]

+2 My area is full of high-achieving immigrants, who are generally unfamiliar with LACs. Which is fine with me, keeping them as the (somewhat) hidden gems they are. And many kids do simply prefer larger schools, which is great. Whatever works best for a given kid.[/quote]

I think the benefits of a SLAC within the context of a highly accessible consortium is part of the growing appeal of the Claremont Colleges - Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer and Scripps...particularly true for Pomona and CMC. We did not appreciate how integrated these colleges truly are physically, academically and socially until we visited. With more than 8k students, it feels more like a mid-size college in a good way.
