Opportunities for students at top public schools vs. top private schools vs. top LACs

<p>Are the amounts of opportunities available for students at top public schools (Berkeley, UNC, UMich, UVa, etc.), top private schools (HYP, Duke, Dartmouth, Stanford, Columbia, etc.), top LACs (Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, etc.) different?</p>

<p>UNC students get more.</p>

<p>What kinds of opportunities are you asking about?</p>

<p>Just to give an example, you can go to four years at Berkeley and never speak to a professor, never have your papers even looked at by a professor, never have a professor know your name. You can also spend four years at Berkeley involved in research, taking part in graduate seminars, doing an honors thesis working closely with a professor for a year, etc. etc. The opportunities and limits will depend partly on your choice of major, but mainly on your drive, initiative, and frankly talents.</p>

<p>generaly in LACs you will have smaller classes and more class duscussion and at a public school there will be more lectures</p>

<p>bermudask8er7,
Are you asking about research opportunities, internship opportunities, or what?</p>

<p>barrons,
“UNC students get more” of what? We don’t even know what the OP is specifically asking about.</p>

<p>More of the good stuff. Great weather, great campus/town, great parties with pretty friendly people. Lots of good looking but nice people.</p>

<p>“More of the good stuff. Great weather, great campus/town, great parties with pretty friendly people. Lots of good looking but nice people.”</p>

<p>I would guess those are not the kinds of opportunities the OP is asking here.</p>
