@TheGreyKing : My LAC was dominated by Greek life–which made a small school even smaller. Overwhelmingly white, rich & preppy. I prefer diversity & individuality, not cliques & conformity. It was rural, isolated, cold & social life revolved around frat parties. One semester of that was enough for me.

One important point not discussed in this thread is the difference among LACs which can greatly affect one’s experience. For example, LACs in a consortium of schools offer more diversity & opportunity. Nevertheless, large national research universities offer a wealth of variety, opportunities & choices not found in most LACs.
