A former babysitter who started at one of the LACS mentioned here discovered a love for Russian and ended up transferring to U Chicago because the program was limited. (Went on to get her PhD and now teaches there. ) I mention this because very few LACs can support lots of language programs at a higher level. When you choose a less common language and comparative lit, you can run up against those limitations.
With that said, the fact that many of many of the classes are small and most LACS have good study abroad options can make them an ideal way to start on a path toward profiency. Make sure you “map out” the rest of your college time to confirm it’s what you want.
