Go for where you fit and will thrive. That’s more than the most obvious name recognition.
At an LAC, there can be “students (from) all over the world, different religions and races and views on world events…chance(s) to live in a dorm or apartment or sorority house, or co-op…dinners hosted by (kids of other religions or ethnicities,)” etc, plus diverse local restaurants. There can be profs working intensely in your major, offering that exposure and your own opps.
Not at all LACs.
