Those dumping on Davidson are idiots. That said all of the schools that you mentioned are excellent schools and anyone dumping on them is also an idiot.

One of my kids is a political moderate but didn't like Davidson. It just... wasn't that special.
Sounds like self reflection.

among LACs, Davidson is doing nothing particularly ambitious. It’s a good school and does fine getting its students into meaningful (read high salary) careers. It’s nothing special.
