[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d vote for Colgate, reason being that I think the LAC experience cannot be beat for an engaging undergrad experience, and your child will have plenty of time for city living, job opps, etc post-college graduation.

I agree with this. They will likely go to grad school and can live in a city then. There is only one time in life (undergrad)when you can spend four years in a small community and really bond with people who have the shared interests, LAC provides that unique experience. [/quote]

This is not in line with reality.

Strong bonds are formed at National Universities as are shared interests. Nothing unique about LACs in this respect. Additionally, many large public universities offer honors colleges with honors housing that facilitate bonding in a small community within a large university setting.

National Universities foster bonding experiences in a variety of ways based on one's interests via theme housing,a multitude of clubs and activities,and separate colleges for certain majors. Many bond over university athletic teams as well.

No need to be isolated or limited to a small group of fellow students where almost everyone knows your business. If it helps, think of a large university as a collection of smaller colleges.[/quote]
Some can feel that way, but many feels like small cities. 
I have been at both ( I transferred in college) and there is a difference between many LAC and larger colleges or universities, there just is. [/quote]

I think that you need to read my post in context; it was a response to another post claiming--incorrectly-- "unique" aspects that can only be found at LACs.
