<p>Is this just because, if you’re going to go to an expensive school in another country, it should be someplace big and famous? Or is there something more specifically about the LAC concept that tends not to settle well with Canadians, or the Canadian education system? Like, the lack of professional programs (engineering, business, etc)?</p>
<p>My dad attended a small New England LAC right before WWII, then law school after the war at someplace big and famous. He just could not understand the attraction of a large urban university. Years ago he told me, college should be a place where you can set aside 4 years from the hubbub, sit under a tree on the lawn and talk about life (or something like that).</p>
