[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a snob when it comes to CTCL schools, but I’m not going to glorify them or view them as somehow unique, different, and - most of all - better than any of the other hundreds of no-name second tier private schools that are out there.  Forced to discount their tuitions to attract mediocre students who wouldn’t have a chance at top schools, low graduation rates, etc.  How on earth are they “changing lives” any more than second tier state schools or, for that matter, community colleges?  THOSE are the school changing lives - they’re educating the masses, immigrants, students of color, etc.  CTCL schools are just refuge for wealthy underachieving students whose parents don’t want them mixing with kids at the schools they really ARE making a difference.

Why so angry at CTCLs?  Don't you have anything better to do than spend your time following a topic that apparently has no relevance to your life, as you've made it abundantly clear you would never send you kids to one?   Go away, please.[/quote]

THE OP SPECIFICALLY ASKED which CTCL schools folks HATED. My response was directly in line with that.  She didn’t start this thread merely to open up a lovefest.  [/quote]

I asked which ones people loved, hated, had heard of, had opinions about, etc. Specific opinions or experiences was what I meant, which everyone else hear seems to have understood.

I didn't want more posts from the dude who hates the liberal arts and doesn't understand what phds (even science ones! How can he hate science ones?) are for. [/quote]
