[quote=Anonymous]The problem with most of the smaller LACs is that they have very few to no truly active NIH or HSF-funded researchers on faculty (at least in lab-based biology or in physics), so most primary research experiences for students in biomedical sciences or physics would need to be in the summer, or in some cases via established programs between a smaller college and a bigger university in the same area (i.e. Haverford and Penn). One can get an excellent science education and go onto graduate school from any of this quality small colleges, but actually carrying out an undergraduate thesis that is lab/experimentally based, on campus, particularly in rural schools without other larger research institutions nearby, would be difficult. So places like Carnegie-Mellon, Rochester or Hopkins might be a better fit than say Amherst or the western/midwestern colleges listed by some of the PPs[/quote]
