Talk:Liberal arts colleges in the United States

message: I am applying to this school and on the supplemental application they put
"Please check off whether or not you want your SAT or ACT scores to appear on your application. If you choose yes, you must submit your scores with your application."
They're technically part of the standardized test optional movement but since the whole reason they did this is probably because of the SAT's. It should be worth noting.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.251.204 (talk) 21:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stonehill now part of the SAT Optional Movement 

message: This article does not highlight the difference between liberal arts colleges and universities, and in my opinion it should do so. If a foreigner reads the article, he would like to know what is fundamentally different between a university (like New York University) and a LAC (Amherst College). Someone should add this information. Chimeric Glider (talk) 19:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difference between LAC and national universities 

message: This needs to be explained, while one can get a general idea of the concept from reading the examples, the movement is never explicitly described.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.144.64.86 (talk) 01:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  SAT Optional Movement clarification 

message: It seems like this is a lot of information about a very specific instance with US News and World Report. The information in this section is very detailed, but does not include the reason why the Annapolis Group called for schools to cease participating in US News and World Reports survey. It seems like it would be best to do a quick overview of the reason for this movement and result of the movement, but to leave most of the detailed information to the article 'Criticism of college and university rankings (2007 United States)' to describe.EtanaLF (talk) 22:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: Washington and Lee University, known as Washington College by 1813, should be on this list. The wikipedia article on the college  will substantiate this. I intentionally did NOT make the change because I wasn't sure how to edit the table without introducing errors.

thread_title:  Oldest Colleges List Needs Updating 

message: @ElKevbo, I noticed this edit you made. In one sense, it's just a manifestation of the perpetual MOS:EGG vs. MOS:SPECIFICLINK conundrum, but it also raises questions about the appropriate scope of this article vs. liberal arts college. The idea of a liberal arts college is so closely tied to the U.S. model that I'm not sure it makes sense to have a separate page. An option I lean toward would be to have something similar to what we do for Student newspaper, where there's a global article, but if you want a specific country, that's List of student newspapers in the United States, which includes any general country-specific information in the lead. For that, we'd merge parts of this article to liberal arts college and the rest to the lead of List of liberal arts colleges in the United States. Thoughts?  talk 03:38, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I am amenable to the proposed changes. I don't know enough about postsecondary education outside of the U.S. to make a confident judgment on my own but the reasoning presented seems to be sound and matches my intuition. ElKevbo (talk) 17:38, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
