[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who attends a small liberal arts college or liberal arts college these days? Is it a back-up school if student can't get into state public flagship? Does each state have a well known liberal arts college, or are LACs mostly in the northeast region of US, along east coast US and east-midwest US?

People who don't want to go to a football school, and who instead value small class sizes and accessible faculty members.[/quote]

Ugh, this trope again?  Schools with football can also have excellent academics, small-medium class sizes, and accessible faculty members.  Imagine!   :roll: [/quote]

It's not a trope. While big football schools can and do have some of that, you can also spend 5 years and never actually meet a professor if you want to avoid small classes. That is a plus for alot of kids who are perfectly happy ot sign up for big lectures where no attendance is taken so you don't actually have to go. On the other hand, that is the entirely to of the SLAC experience and something you seek because you cannot avoid it and become anonymous. That is what it is all about. [/quote]

Is it the same officious poster making these grand pronouncements about public universities, about which she clearly knows nothing?  Not a great spokesperson for SLAC people, just FYI.[/quote]
