[quote=Anonymous]I went to a CTCL in the midwest and had a great experience!  It was very small, and not much going on in the surrounding town, so the student body was very tight.  I got to experience all the things - sports, music, various clubs, Greek life, study abroad, won a science research fellowship for the summer working with one of my professors, and more.  After I came back from study abroad, my focus had changed and I felt adrift.  I popped into the Dean of Students' office (he knew all of us, or at least it seemed like he did) and asked him for advice.  He referred me to a bunch of prestigious fellowships, and I applied and won one.  It truly did change the trajectory of my life and my career path.

Of course, I couldn't say that any other small school wouldn't have done the same.  But where I otherwise at this stage of life might be advising my teens to steer clear of tiny schools in the middle of nowhere, I now know that these schools do offer tremendous opportunities and can change your life, so I will encourage my kids to consider them.[/quote]
