<p>While a small LAC like Knox can be a great college for many students I really question that assessment for others, particularly those who plan on majoring in some of the sciences where the faculty in several departments number 4 or less.</p>
<p>The concern is not about S/F ratios but the depth, quality and number of upper level course offerings.</p>
<p>Students intending to enroll in a small LAC should first research its faculty resources in possible areas of study. LAC's like Williams, Colgate etc have fabulous faculty resources across the board. But others down the pecking order may not.</p>
