Falling in love with the safety school

<p>^ I think I haven’t been clear. </p>

<p>What I think is so impressive about this article is how the student credits the education he received there. It’s not that my son (who is interested in Japanese, not science) would follow in that student’s footsteps. It’s that the liberal arts environment there might help ANY student achieve his/her potential, and perhaps do it just as well – or better – than a school with a higher ranking in USNews & World Report.</p>

<p>I’m curious to hear about students who chose the lesser-ranked school, for whatever reason.</p>
