<p>Why not LACs?</p>
<p>I’m from Malaysia, and it is unfortunate that over here, liberal arts colleges (even prestigious ones like Williams and Amherst) are relatively unknown compared to larger research universities.</p>
<p>For example, I applied to 8 LACs for the fall admission this year, and every single person I have discussed my college choice with has gone, “What college?”</p>
<p>Nobody here (other than people who have actually done a bit of research) has heard of Grinnell or Colby or Swarthmore, so obviously there’s this worry that graduating from an unheard of college will make you a lot less employable.</p>
