[quote=Anonymous]As some say, you get out of it what you put into it. Then again, some schools ask more of students. It’s easier to exit a big state school without getting an excellent liberal education. However, nowadays, many people don’t care about that. It’s STEM, STEM, STEM, and money, money, money. Big state schools have minimal broad-based humanities requirements, and, if they do, lots of goof-off courses to fulfill them. In essence, yes, it is easy to graduate from State U with a practical degree that might make a lot of money, but little development of the person based on a rigorous humanities and writing curriculum. In contrast, yes, attending a small, well-regarded, private, liberal arts college might get one all of that - a STEM student with a perspective in the humanities that can write well. To be well-educated means the latter, but most in our society don’t really care. [/quote]
