<p>catpb,</p>
<p>D has not yet started her college experience, she is still a senior. The college she has committed to is also a LAC with a student population of approximately 2700, a little smaller than St. Olaf. </p>
<p>I would agree with your statement that in general, LAC’s provide a greater student-faculty relationship because of their size. Since St. Olaf is truly a residential campus with very limited off campus housing, their is a great bond between the students and the students and faculty. It is a very casual atmosphere where it is common to see the professors and students eating lunch together or seeing the President of the school working out at the gym along side the students. I think this creates a unique campus culture. This close interaction with the professors, both in and out of class, can only benefit the student.</p>
<p>Good luck with your search</p>
