[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, but what characteristics does a college need to be considered a "college that changes lives"? It's such a subjective sentiment, couldn't you argue that any college changes lives?[/quote] I believe that Loren Pope's criteria for such colleges included small classes; focus on the students and not research; ample opportunities for student-led research; ample opportunities for ongoing small-group and one-on-one engagement with professors; and interesting/alternative curriculum approaches that give students the opportunity to learn and grow in various unusual/non-standard sorts of ways. In general, large research universities do not offer these types of opportunities.[/quote]
