[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some lovely schools are in distant locations, from Bates and Bowdoin to Grinnell and Oberlin.
Why go to a school like this if you could get into a comparable school with access to more resources? I'm not being snarky. I am genuinely curious about the appeal.[/quote]

NP. Out of curiosity, were you badly educated? I am having a difficult time figuring out how anyone with a good education would be so limited in their ability to think this through. This is not a difficult thought exercise. [/quote]

Yeah, next OP will be asking why anyone would want to visit small country towns in England; or little villages in the south of France.[/quote]

Not visit.  Live there.  For four years![/quote]

College kids have breaks. My kids attend small colleges in rural locations. One had 4 weeks off for winter break, the other 6 weeks. One has 1 week off for spring break, the other 2 weeks. Then there's the summer--maybe 12 weeks off? They live in college dorms, but life there isn't unrelenting, it's broken up by time off, if they want.[/quote]
