[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in suburbia. At my high school cities felt a little intimidating to a lot of kids. And a lot didn't want an enormous state school so SLACs were very popular. But my kids were born and raised in DC, and while it's not a huge city, they think it would be weird to be at a college in the middle of nowhere. So less excited about SLACs.[/quote] This, along with costs, are definitely part of it. Not to mention even liberal SLACs are not always in welcoming communities. Weirdly Coolidge has sent kids to Bucknell the last few years. Would not have been my first guess pairing. [/quote] +1. Small, expensive, in the middle of nowhere or small town with not much going on. It’s not attractive to kids who have grown up in the city and used to lots going on.[/quote]
