[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CC is a great, but is not a name brand on the East Coast. If you love Colorado, it might be worth it, but there are many similar colleges closer to the east coast population centers. Anecdotally, I see mostly private school kids going there whereas many other LACs including Claremonts, NESCACs, Liberty Leagues and Midwestern ones have students from both public and private schools[/quote]
This is a weird comment. Why would someone obsessed with East Coast snobbery go to a liberal arts college at all? At best, Williams is known by some, but you are better off going to the various medium sized privates across the east coast. Second, undergraduate prestige is mostly bs and doesn't carry nearly as much as the regional strength of brands like HBS, YLS, Stanford Med etc. [/quote]

Because in their little social bubbles going to a lac is more prestigious than, say, Penn state or Villanova. They’re all going to be future attorneys or finance bros, so they see going to a lac as better prep for law school or Wharton. In Moco, I know cc is seen as an acceptable backup for wasp. [/quote]
