[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have made the last few posts in this thread.

SLACs & LACs do not need to be so defensive. I love big schools and am not a fan--but a graduate of--a rural LAC. Yet, even I recognize that many LACs offer a tremendous education and educational experience for one who desires a small, intimate rural setting with its attendant lack of privacy. Not for me. But that is me--not you.

No one can deny the benefits for attending Williams, Amherst, Pomona, Swarthmore, Claremont McKenna and several other LACs. Just know what you are getting into. That's all. If it suits you, then great. If not, then beware as small communities do not offer the freedom, diversity, and multitude of options available at larger schools. Not a criticism--just an observation. Some folks like small town life, while most prefer cities.[/quote]

Pomona and Claremont McKenna are part of a consortium of 8,500 students and a one-hour train ride or 45-minute car ride to Los Angeles. Amherst and Swarthmore are also part of a consortium and Swarthmore is easily accessible to Philadelphia.[/quote]

Yes, that is why I used those examples.[/quote]
