[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a four year college that doesn't change lives ?

The book CTCL is really just a marketing tool highlighting what initially--in 1996--were relatively unknown small schools. CTCL is a feel good marketing organization. Nothing wrong with this approach at selling schools. But these are not miracle schools. In fact, most have to offer substantial scholarship grants in order to attract students. Nothing wrong with this either. But how many return and stay to graduate and how do these small schools do with respect to internships and job placement in one's desired field ?

Based on the anecdata and stats shared here, sounds pretty good.

[b]Regarding if someone remains after they graduated, how is that a useful info point?[/b] Is Cornell weak because most of their grads leave?[/quote]

You misunderstand. I think that you misread what I wrote. College retention rates and 4 year graduation rates--as well as 6 year graduation rates--are important measures of a school's value in the experience of its current students.[/quote]
