you have a point about the other graduate schools' faculty, but I still stand by my statement that LACs offer community due to their small undergraduate size, which the small universities simply do not have.
True to a point. But I would suggest that Dartmouth and Wake are the exceptions to prove the rule. Dartmouth's isolation makes it a community (aka the Dartmouth bubble). Ditto Wake, for similar reasons. Winston-Salem is not an attractive student urban enclave, nor college town (such as Boston), and the WF campus is a self-contained, country club atmosphere. There is literally no where to walk off campus to a movie theater; well, ok, a long, hike will get you there.
