[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so off the mark. The top students in my kid's school attend SLACs. They are intellectually curious and are very hardworking. They are willing to develop their critical thinking skills and not get stuck in pre-professional paths too early in their academic careers.

I don't see the privilege and I agree with PP that the education is not the same (in fact, it's more rigorous) than what is offered at big flagships.[/quote]

You don’t see the privilege in selective schools that cost 2x as much as public schools but which have names that only “the right people” recognize? Tell me again about your rigorous critical thinking skills. [/quote]

Clearly, you have no critical thinking skills of your own. If you can read, the point was that people in SLAC are there to learn broadly and not get stuck in vocational training. The students are not there for the school names, DUH.

I disagree that SLAC are 2X more expensive than state schools across the board, especially with generous financial aid.
Then again, I'm sure you realize "you get what you pay for" may be a factor if big public schools are sooooo much cheaper.[/quote]
