Replying to What the fuck is a "liberal arts college"

this may seem like a stupid question to you americans, but i grew up in france and we never heard of such a thing


wtf is a "liberal arts college" ? not all of them seem that "liberal", in fact some seem pretty damn traditional/conservative, nor are they arts-focused, in the traditional sense of the word

so what is it? different values? different teaching style? or is it just a name so that stupid kids dont feel bad? i dont get it
