[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Fit" is a thing but my hope is that our children aren't in need of a particular fit. We discourage SLACs.[/quote] The college professors in our family have the exact opposite opinion. They discourage large schools and any school with a big graduate program. They want all the kids in the family to attend a school where the primary focus of fully tenured professors is undergraduate education.[/quote] Because it is an amazing experience! Even for a shy, less agressive kid, the profs care and the kid learns to critically think and participate. Very different than a large campus with 500+ class sizes where office hours are the TAs only. Yes, some will do well at a big school, but most kids will do much better in a small environment [/quote]
