[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how they are able to sell SLAC's as this mythical 'fit' for some students.

Nothing against SLAC's they do serve a role but it is just marketing.

Smaller schools are a “fit” for some kids. These schools exist for a reason. It isn’t mythical. It is preferences.

I was glad I had options. I’m glad my child has options.

It really feels like the point of this thread is “just go to a huge public, everyone-it’s a one size fits all” [/quote]

This is it in a nutshell. There is a strong contingent here that feels like every kid should go to a big instate public and if they don’t want to there’s something wrong with the kid.

I went to a big in state public and I wish I had known about smaller schools. I had friends and did fine academically. But I knew I was just a number. My professors were more concerned with their grad students and research and my TA’s were just doing what needed to be done for their graduate degrees. [/quote]
