<p>I always wonder what the value is of these sorts of opinions. One person says people go to LACs for individual attention which means they can’t hack it or likely to get homesick to a big school supporter. Obviously, small size has something to do with the attraction but whether it’s to ease “homesickness” or avoid “impersonal classes” at a university depends on the individual. There are plenty of people who do very well in the math and sciences at LACs just as there are those who have developed strong relationships with faculty at large universities.</p>
