The professor dad was graudated from MIT. Here is the mom's input:
**********************
Why did my kids chose Midd over Bates? Really, the main reason was it's 8 hours closer to our house. Why over MIT, where their father attended? Class size and mentorship opportunities. My husband felt that MIT opened doors, but almost killed him in the process.No one really cared if he succeeded or not. He learned to write in grad school, because his undergrad education was so quantitative, classes so large, and grades mostly given on problem sets and tests by grad students, not the actual professor.
I'm a strong proponent of the small LAC as the best place to get an undergraduate education unless you are extremely focused and very self-driven. To pick one of the top LACs over another is really just splitting hairs. So pick, if you have a choice, the place that feels "right" for you.
*************************
Remarks: it is interesting that Safety is one of main factors to choose universities in US parents' view. Obviously there is no such issue in Hong Kong and UK.
