[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how the few people that went to the top 5 schools are rapidly posting about how great their school experience was. What you're not seeing is everyone who went to school 10 and down the Haverfords, St Olafs, Macalaster College, Pomona etc. Btw GW and Georgetown are not considered small schools. Oh and if you don't think Vtech or UVA don't have a huge alumni presence then you're smoking something.[/quote]

I went to a Haverford/St. Olaf/Macalaster/Pomona (no, I don't want to specify which one). I had a wonderful time. I learned a lot about what I thought I wanted to major in, and I learned a lot about what I did end up majoring in. I had professors who genuinely cared, I had opportunities only a small school can offer. I thrived at my school because it was the right environment for me to succeed in. I was accepted into several top-10 grad schools for IR. I make a decent living (I made a choice to stop chasing money; I happier now).

Attending a SLAC was the right choice [i]for me[/i]. Maybe it wasn't the right choice for you, maybe it's not the right choice for your child; or maybe it is and you're too closed-minded to realize that. But SLACs are the right choice for some people and to unilaterally degrade SLACs as a waste of time and money demonstrates a shockingly narrow mindset.[/quote]

Well said![/quote]
