Good? The model these small liberal schools were founded on are now obsolete or quickly becoming so. A quick search states the tuition is $34K and $10K for room and board......for a university that people would ask "where/what is that?". The value of a higher end public 4 year can be dubious already.......so these types of schools are rapidly becoming irrelevant have no chance.
Some prominent liberal arts colleges with a strong alumni base (Colorado College, Amherst, etc.) will still survive/thrive but some random no name place founded in the 30s in middle of no where are going extinct.
The liberal arts are important subjects that deserved studying but the 100K plus price tag will have a small audience or they go to the more respected options so ultimately a supply/demand scenario playing out in the higher ed market place.
