[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father is a department head at a huge state school. Both my brother and I went to SLACs. His input on the experience played a big part in those decisions. [/quote]

This is one reason to differentiate among private National Universities and large public universities and large public honors colleges. Different experiences. (Not all liberal arts colleges are similar either.)

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Chicago, Duke, Northwestern, Brown, Vanderbilt, Emory, Johns Hopkins, Rice, WashUStL, U Penn, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, Caltech, Columbia, Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon, are all private National Universities. Very different experience than at almost all public National Universities such as the overcrowded UCs, Univ. of Missouri, Univ. of Central Florida, UMass system, Auburn, Arizona State, Oregon State, Washington State, and other large publics.

The Honors College or Honors Program experience is quite different at large state public flagships from the non-honors experience at the same public university.

Experiences differ as well between SLAC (selective LACs) and LACs with high acceptance rates.[/quote]
