What types of students are Liberal Arts colleges best for?

For that matter, there are few universities strong across the board. Sarah Lawrence is a straw man argument. Where are the departments of classics, philosophy, and religion at Georgia Tech?

<p>No one suggests Georgia Tech or Harvey Mudd for a student interested in classics, philosophy, religion, or other humanities subjects. But when students interested in science ask, it is pretty common for responders to suggest SLC and other colleges which are limited in science. Why is that?</p>

You place such emphasis on high school students knowing their major, but that seems unreasonable to anyone who’s familiar with college students.

<p>Incorrect. What I usually suggest is that students consider what they might major in. I.e. they may be undecided now, but they may have a general idea of what are possibilities and what are not.</p>
