[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm not here for a judgement on my parenting. She does talk to her advisor, but I am telling you that they are very hands off. The college has a lot more people majoring in the humanities than STEM, so I think it is easier for them to get the courses they need because a lot of them are very broad.

I'm not interested in a critique of my parenting. This is literally just a heads up to parents considering small colleges.

Also, 18 and 19 year olds are not always very savvy about understanding the best way to maximize their courses to meet college requirements and their majors and other interests they have. My daughter didn't understand that she could "double dip" on two requirements and meet both through taking one class and the school didn't make that clear to her. Doing that leaves another course open in her schedule down the line for a class she really wants to take that isn't just to meet college requirements. [/quote]

We don’t need this kind of advice from you or anyone else.  We’re not idiots.   Smaller schools mean fewer course offering.  Duh.  Last I checked the four year graduation rates at SLACs were generally higher than larger schools, so the students are obviously managing to get the classes they need.

No reason to treat educated adults like idiots, and no reason to helicopter over your own kid so damned much either.  [/quote]
