[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD is interested in social sciences and will likely attend an LAC. The cost is a gut punch, but I see value in the "learning to learn" skills that I see supported in the LAC's as well as the social fit. I think it depends on your kid - some kids have a very strong sense of self heading off to college and will find their way and their people in a large public setting. Our DD is a "social chameleon" type, and I think the setting she spends the next four years in will strongly influence who she becomes as she matures. She has brought this up with us too, and is looking for a school where the majority of the students seem to be demonstrating habits and ways of living that she would like to foster for herself. [b]This has come down to LAC's where deeper academic discussions and accountability in classes are the norm, studying is part of most students' daily routine, and appreciation of nature and outdoors activities is common. [/b]I don't know if there will be a financial ROI out of the LAC choice for her, but the potential for personal development alongside the education feels worth it to us. [/quote]
