[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither DH nor I attended an LAC so they are a bit of an exotic animal to us, but we wouldn't rule them out. I can see how they would be better for quality of instruction, but I am not sure how the students get research experience when the faculty are primarily teaching. [/quote] LAC faculty do research, but they prioritize teaching. They don't have grad students to assist with the research, so undergrads get those positions. In the best way, the research can be part of the professors' commitment to undergrad education.[/quote] Undergrads at LACs can also do summer REUs at larger universities. I have a science PhD (HYPS undergrad and grad), and many, many of my grad school classmates went to top LACs. It's absurd to suggest that you can't get a quality undergrad STEM education at a top-ranked LAC. Wesleyan is another school I haven't seen mentioned yet.[/quote]
