[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who commented on writing. Here is the thing at a big research university (Michigan, Penn State, etc): You will not know the research professors. You might get to know the grad students; they will be the ones who you interact with. the undergrad population will not benefit from the fancy labs; at best, they will get a tour, but faculty are not going to risk the expensive equipment on undergrads. So, you are taught by grad students more than faculty, the faculty view teaching as an annoyance that keeps them away from their research. At the LAC, you will have the graduate of the major research universities (PhD's), but they are paid to teach. And they are the ones that teach the class. The people that assist them in research are often undergrads. [/quote]
