Why is it important to consider smaller colleges that are not commonly mentioned or are less popular than, say, Ivy League institutions?
Many prospective college students aim to apply to colleges with a name that is popular and more known. However, experts mention that smaller colleges can provide the same, or better, environment for students to learn. May someone clarify how this can be? #college #education #learning-environment
Will I use everything I learned as a Math major in the workforce?
