@ucbalumnus Well yes, a school with 1,700 undergraduates is simply not going to have as many courses as frequently as a school with 20,000 undergraduates. That’s a trade off you would have to make for smaller class sizes and generally closer/better access to professors as well as (generally speaking) a more well-rounded education. Graduates from these schools almost always have jobs lined up after graduation (can’t put links because I’m on my phone, but if you search the web for some articles about Bowdoin CS grads, etc, you’ll see what I mean) and end up doing just fine. As long as you’re willing to make the trade off & truly believe that a small-school education will better facilitate your success and happiness, someone can make LACs work (not all of them, of course, but some).
