<p>I read from one post saying that the class size is huge for first and second yrs... isn't that a bad thing, in most ways?</p>
<p>It's not as bad as you think. It's big and anonymous, but you quickly get used to it, it's just part of university life.</p>
<p>Blobof is right - it just means you have to be sort of self-motivated because there won't be anyone there to be making sure you're doing your work. You get used to it very quickly - and there's even something nice about having a bit of anonymity sometimes. Also, most profs are still really open and easy to reach outside of class if you want a more personal connection with them (as are TAs). Personally, I thought I'd hate big classes and feel "lost" or "intimidated", but I actually really like them.</p>
