[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are targeting students who could use a warmer environment and a little more hand-holding.

I am an academic and a lot, the majority, of my colleagues at both liberal arts colleges and big state schools encourage their kids to attend small liberal arts colleges. To put it simply, it is much easier to get a very good education at SLACs.

I like everything that is written in the CTCL's books and, if I have a criticism, it is that the author presents the ideas like they are a new way to look at schools when almost everyone I know believes the same thing. But, to be fair, she has opened a lot of eyes with the book so I am happy it was written.

Back to the OP's question, generally speaking these are warmer than usual, more supportive than usual, schools that care about educating their students. And they not super selective so they are accessible to many. ([b]DCUM is ok with people needing to go to less selective schools but doesn't like people praising them[/b].)[/quote]

This is really true. [/quote]
