<p>Leaning toward small.... i know this is probably already a thread but i couldnt find it</p>
<p>When I started out my search, I wanted a big school. As time went on, I thought, well maybe a small school would be good. I applied to school with student bodies ranging from 3,000-30,000. I ended up choosing a small school. There are about 3,400 students total. I’m really happy with my choice. I went to orientation over the weekend, and there were around 200 incoming freshman there. I realized that it’s a pretty diverse school in terms of the types of people (racially, it falls, but it’s not super bad). My classes will be small (around 50 max), I’ll know lots of people, but not everyone, and I won’t be a number, I’ll be a student who my professors actually know the name of and will be able to connect with the face. I vote small, unless you’re going into a small department of a big school.</p>
<p>wat school r u going to</p>
<p>Schools with like 3,000 students attract basket cases who need excessive nurturing in order to do their homework. Schools with 20,000+ students attract kids that can handle finding their own direction and take advantage of tons of opportunities.</p>

<p>There are many threads like this, but which school is better for you depends on what type of student you are. Some can’t handle big crowds of people, and a wide variety of personalities. Some others can’t handle smaller places, where you are more likely to stand out.</p>
<p>Some small schools demand close interaction with profs; at these schools, you can’t hide. If you are the type who likes such close relationships, you can benefit tremendously from the mentoring, especially with regard to grad school placement. If you’re more comfortable on your own, a large school may be more appropriate.</p>
