<p>Can someone please list the pros and cons of a small private university vs a large public university? </p>
<p>Generally small privates have smaller classes with more direct interaction between the professors and students. Some large Us have instituted smaller honors colleges within to emulate this. Large public Us also tend to use Teaching Assts.</p>
<p>Nothing matters more than cost, and the matter here is not worth your consideration: some larger entry-level classes that are farther from your dorm. Big whup.</p>
<p>This is what the CC search function is for… if you need more info after reading these, come back and ask.</p>

<p>There are large privates (e.g. USC, NYU, BU, BYU) and small publics (e.g. public LACs, military service academies, maritime academies, small engineering schools).</p>
