[quote=Anonymous]To the PP who mentioned what happens when a kid gets sick, what exactly do you mean? I assumed you meant a more serious illness. If a college freshman has a cold or a sinus infection, of course he should be able to go to the campus health clinic and talk to a nurse and get a prescription without any help from anyone else. However, if the same kid has a serious illness and misses multiple sessions of a class, I would expect a “supportive” school to have professors who will (1) notice a kid hasn’t been in class and (2) be willing work with them to the extent they can make up missed work etc. so they can pass the course. A big school where the kid is a number / more anonymous may be less likely to get support in that scenario. FWIW I went to a SLAC and if you missed more than one class in a row, chances were good you’d get a call from the professor to find out why you weren’t there. [/quote]
