[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LAC boosters either have an inferiority complex or looking for justification for spending $360,000 for a bachelor's degree for a school 50% of the public isn't familiar. [/quote]

University boosters prioritize brand recognition over education quality because they are less likely to rely on actual academic merit. Cheating is way more rampant in a room with 300 students and a different grader for each assignment than a room with 30 students and a single prof.  [/quote]

“University boosters” are not a thing. Most people just don’t want to go to a college smaller than their high school.[/quote]

“Most people” are content to be the third priority at a university because they are betting on a brand. Those who value being a first priority at an LAC are betting on themselves. [/quote]

Or they just lack the independence and emotional maturity to handle anything on their own, but you do you.[/quote]

I'd like to have an adult conversation on this but you will need to find someone to speak for you.[/quote]

Ah yes, your claiming that people going to universities are betting on a brand while people going to LACs are betting on and prioritizing themselves is such a mature point.[/quote]

It’s true though. Every time an LAC basher says LACs are less known or have fewer applicants they are speaking to brand awareness, not quality. A better question than why spend 360k on undergrad at an LAC is why spend that at a university where the profs openly want to minimize their time doing so. Other than the existence of a major that might not be available at an LAC like engineering (which throws off earnings comparisons), it’s pretty counter intuitive. (That said, even LACs that don’t offer engineering send alumni into it, just less frequently.) [/quote]

There are like 50 reasons that people choose a given university that isn’t just “the brand.” I’m not sure what adult conversation you want to have when you don’t seem very aware of any of this.[/quote]
