[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look at UChicago. Their class sizes are smaller than at many LACs and there's an exciting city just 15 minutes outside of a beautiful suburban campus. Discussions are lively among the kids inside and outside the classroom. Interesting, very intellectually engaged peer group.[/quote] Chicago is a great school and has a beautiful campus (my nephew is an undergrad there and DS is a grad student), but it doesn't feel like a SLAC. Many undergrads live off campus, which isn't characteristic of SLACs. Furthermore, the presence of grad students and their role as TAs is also quite different from what you would find at a SLAC. [/quote] I agree it doesn't feel like a SLAC. Lake Forest College does, and it's probably the definition of suburban. Leafy, north-of-Chicago campus.[/quote]
