<p>Like most of the other respondents, I prefer LACs. My son is at one and, all else being equal, I wish I’d gone to one instead of to Big State U. OTOH, if you have no idea what you want, be sure that the LACs you’re interested in have all the majors you could want; for example, if you might end up wanting to major in engineering or biochemistry or Japanese or business fields such as accounting, many LACs won’t be able to support that as well.</p>
