[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter just graduated with a history major from a SLAC.  She just started a job at cybersecurity company as a consultant. She interned with the company in DC last year.  Not all interns received offers.  Her ability to write was probably a very important factor.    [/quote]

Fascinating. SLAC again [/quote]

No, nothing fascinating about a graduate of a small college landing a job--unless, of course, your job is to promote LACs.[/quote]
If anything it reflects the forum’s interest. There’s a big UVA/W&M/LAC culture here. [b]Sometimes my eyes light up when the typical elite universities come up, because they’re becoming a rarity of conversation [/b][/quote]

Agree.

Websites with college boards seem to be dominated by LAC marketers. Nothing wrong about reading the LAC hype, but readers miss out on the tremendous variety of offerings and options available at large universities--both public and private.

If interested in a particular major, visit the website of a Big Ten university and investigate the courses, programs, research opportunities, internship/externship opportunities, job placement, etc. You might be pleasantly surprised.

LAC folks just seem to have a lot of time on their hands and resort, unnecessarily, to making exaggerated and often false assertions.

Whether one prefers a small school or a big university, the key is to take advantage of the opportunities offered.
