@collegemom3717 That post #52 is a great post, thanks for pointing it out. Sums up nicely pro and con of attending either type program. For someone who has a kid who is good at many things or isn’t 100% sure they want to go into STEM, that makes a strong case for the LAC.
One of the things I have noticed even in high school is how some students focus on STEM, often at the expense of learning to write well or think about the world at large. Taking only STEM classes could really hinder a certain type of kid. I think it’s really hard to find programs that support both STEM and liberal arts. That’s sad as many kids don’t really know 100% what they want to do at 18.
