<p>Love your comments! I hope Happykid ends up where the faculty are like you!</p>
<p>OP-</p>
<p>To date I have taken classes at:
One highly selective LAC
One non-selective LAC
Two community colleges (different states)
One non-selective private U
Two Flagship public Us (different states)</p>
<p>I have had excellent learning experiences at all of these places. I also had marginal learning experiences at that highly selective LAC, the un-selective U, and one of the Flagship public Us. Through the years I’ve had good big classes, good small classes, bad big classes, and a couple of really dreadfully bad small classes! Overall, the goodness or badness of an individual course has depended on the individual instructor. Some of the very best were Teaching Assistants. To be honest, I still haven’t run into that apocryphal “bad teaching assistant” - unless of course it was me when I was a T.A.</p>
<p>College, like the rest of your life, is mostly what you make of it. You can have a successful experience wherever you end up.</p>
