[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some students, access to graduate departments--and the requisite research opportunities and opportunity to build connections with professors who are leaders in their fields--doesn't matter because it doesn't align with their career goals, but for others it's really important.[/quote]

The flaw in your logic is the assumption that professors at LACs aren't doing research.  They are; and in fact at an LAC there are no grad students competing for the positions working with them.  So the situation you mention is the opposite of the fact.  You will likely form better relationships with your professors and have a better chance at a research position (key for grad school) if you are at an LAC.

Dig all the LACs on this list:

And then check out this article:

[i]The children of professors are far more likely to attend liberal arts colleges than other parents. Children of university faculty are about twice as likely to select liberal arts college than children of parents earning more than $100,000 a year.[/i]

So much wrong in this thread.  If you are new to the college process, please disregard all the stupid comments here and do your own research.[/quote]
