[quote=Anonymous]OP, The two key points have been made on this thread. 1) social: the small size makes for a nice, friendly village feel but you do have to take more care since it is so small and there is less privacy. Not a problem for most kids, and the pros outweigh the cons. Kids choose LACs because they like the small, tight-knit community feel. 2) academic: can't hide in large lecture classes, so make the most of the close contacts and opportunities possible. LAC profs will go out of their way to help students in a way larger universities don't, due to grad student focus (with a few exceptions). Focus on oral and written communication skills a big plus, whatever the professional path chosen. Those are the key differences from your own experience. Hope your kid has a wonderful time!![/quote]
