Re: #84
Remember, on these forums, “LAC” is often used by posters who really mean “elite private LAC”, which are much less likely to have the kinds of financial problems you mention. That is reflective of general forum trends, where posters often mistake characteristics (good or bad) of elite private colleges as being applicable to all colleges.
But also, non LAC colleges can have similar problems of not being able to support what is ordinarily considered a basic major like math or physics. I.e. financial problems and their effects are not exclusive to LACs or non LACs.
