[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post just reveals the world you grew up in, which is not generally applicable.

Where I "came from" (UMC suburb public school) everyone aimed for top 10 universities or state schools. I think we had one person in our top 10 percent who went to a SLAC.

When I see a SLAC on a resume I immediately assume you came from a privileged background and won’t try very hard. Sorry![/quote]

That makes no sense at all. They are small schools, so you can't hide or skip classes; you have to work hard and be accountable.[/quote]

This is super hilarious. In a big school you sink or swim- no one cares if you show up or not. You’re only accountable to yourself. [/quote]

At a big school, you're going to be taught in an auditorium with hundreds of other students and most of your contact will be with teaching assistants, i.e. grad students who aren't much older than undergrads and may not even speak much English. At a small school, you might have a class where it's just you, one other student and the professor. Seems kinda obvious where the kid is going to learn more. [/quote]
