[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being from an urban area, I wanted a change and graduated from a rural college. Loved it! Was a peaceful, low crime, nurturing environment with lots of campus activities and [b]instruction from actual professors instead of teaching assistants[/b]. [/quote]

Let's not confuse the thread.  You went to a very specific type of rural college...there are hundreds if not thousands of small, rural colleges that are just regional colleges with declining student populations and underfunded programs.

Rural college does not automatically = Williams.  In fact the Top SLACs are the exception in terms of the profile of the average small, rural college.[/quote]

I made no claim that the college I attended was "Williams" it is probably a college which you would consider not worthy, but it was absolutely the right choice for me. I wanted to get away from urban life, and since I was first gen (white, middle class) college student, having actual mature professors to help guide me was a must.

Earned a graduate from UNC Chapel Hill, and scored just as well, if not better, than many of my cohort from higher ranked regional universities and high status national universities. [/quote]
