Pros and Cons of Liberal Arts College
Pros• 100% of funding is for YOU,
the undergraduate• Small size means familiarity
and opportunity• Research, research & more
research!• Schools are very deliberate in
building their populations and look beyond your “numbers” and more at you – this helps for financial aid as well
Cons• Small size – may be looking
for that “big school” experience
• May not have a vocational specialty like engineering or architecture for example……. Then again, some do have these options
• Competitiveness of admissions may limit merit aid to the upper tier schools
