<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I understand that the faculty to student ratio is outstanding at U of C, but on average, how many students are there in a classroom? Thanks!</p>
<p>On average? It varies. Core classes? Major classes? Upper level? Lower level? I’d say on average, somewhere between 15 and 20, but this number varies greatly based on more specific criteria.</p>
<p>Thanks for the answer! I was thinking in terms of the core classes that I must take as a freshmen undergraduate.</p>
<p>Based on the specific course listings in the time schedules for autumn quarter (which I think are available to everyone and are posted [here](<a href=“http://timeschedules.uchicago.edu/"]here[/url]”>http://timeschedules.uchicago.edu/)</a>), most humanities-related classes seem to be limited at 12 students on average, some up to 20 or so, some smaller. First- and second-year science classes, which are more lecture oriented, hold as many as 50 to 150 or 200 students. These classes are expected, but rare on the whole.</p>
