Harvard v. LACs

[vonlost]

<p>

Residential liberal arts colleges are overwhelmingly private, expensive, and selective. If you want to compare them to larger private, selective, expensive schools, that might be interesting…but pointing out that Colgate alumni do better than the 90% of American college graduates who went to West Whoville State is surely not the strongest argument for LACs.

LAC fans might take some satisfaction at this stipulation that averaged LAC outcomes are better than averaged big U outcomes. That’s all the offered outcome statistics have ever claimed.</p>
