<p>A student who enters more advanced will more likely find the typical advantages of a university with graduate programs to be greater (e.g. being able to take graduate level courses), while finding the typical disadvantages to be lesser (e.g. the big freshman level courses that s/he will skip due to starting more advanced). The opposite may be the case for a student who is not particularly advanced upon entry.</p>
<p>However, not all universities with graduate programs are large, so that size factor is not necessarily a distinguishing characteristic.</p>
