<p>Very well articulated D.T. I agree totally. In this forum, there is way too much “black and white” talk going on. Too much LAC vs University or Private vs Public. It should not be so. It is all about fit and actual quality. Some private universities are amazing, others are lousy. Some Public universities are awesome, others are terrible. Some LACs are unbeatable, others are pathetic. Thekey is to decide which type of university suits one best and then, to apply to the good universities or colleges that fit that “type”.</p>
