<p>I was reading other threads and some of them said that class sizes for economics are HUGE! The foundation classes are around 100+ students and the higher econ classes are around 50 students!</p>
<p>Since I will have to take economics courses when I go to Smith, does that mean I will be part of such big classes? </p>
<p>Is it a bad idea to go to Smith if I am student who needs more personalized attention and likes smaller classes? How undergraduate centered in Smith?</p>
<p>I really value your opinions, thanks alot guys!</p>
<p>hello i am currently a junior at smith and have a little insight for you. the early finance classes (in the smith school) are decently large around 80-100 students for some of the core classes. the econ classes, however, make smith classes look tiny. econ classes are around 200 people and are so even in 300 level classes.</p>
<p>if youre the kind of person that needs individual attention, you can still get them through weekly discussions in your class. the lectures are not very interactive so you wouldnt get much attention anyway. </p>
<p>i have to say, though, i have loved my experience with smith and the university of maryland. if you want to do wall street, i will flat out say this isnt the school for you. if you want to do accounting, IS, corporate finance or work with the government, this school has plenty of opportunities. the biggest four accounting firms in the country LOVE smith kids. the school has tons of honors programs as well, things to make your experience more well rounded. </p>
