Should You Go?
SLC is a unique college with no majors, fraternities, sororities, and practically no sports. It is also one of the top 10 most expensive colleges. Needless to say, it is not for everyone. But those who love it do so partly because of its 6:1 student-teacher ratio, or its atmosphere of learning for the sake of learning.
