Any person can only take advantage of a small small fraction of the available resources, which any LAC is also able to offer.



This statement is not accurate. LACs vary like any other category of school. Some are well endowed and can offer many opportunities, others are less so and offer less than a good state flagship.

And an example of the FA factor that others have referred to:

For my D2, Y was the LEAST expensive school she could have attended, while a LAC which is in the group that gibby mentioned, was the MOST expensive school. The difference between the two was 20k/year.
