<p>I'm looking at a women's college with 700 students and I'm coming from a high school with over 3000 people. Anyone in the same boat?</p>
<p>I really like the feel of community and small classes. The largest class there has only 40 students and most of the classes have under 20 people.</p>
<p>I can't answer your question, but here is a listing on women's colleges with website links. </p>

<p>No..... haha I know what college I'm looking at... it's Sweet Briar College but I'm asking if anyone else is looking at dead small colleges.</p>
<p>My brother goes to Sierra Nevada College.</p>
<p>It's like..300 people.</p>
<p>poisonivy, There are several things to to consider when looking at "very small" colleges. First, be very thorough in looking not just at the catalog of courses, but also in the actual class schedules from several semesters. Make sure that enough classes in your areas of interest will be offered, especially advanced classes. Also, it's a good idea to investigate how many students study abroad or in off-campus programs in a typical year --- if it's a high number, you'll have even less than 700 students on campus. Also check out the financial stability of very small colleges (well, any college you're considering in fact) --- sometimes very small colleges have financial difficulties. Also look to see if it has always been this small, or has enrollment dropped (the first is fine, the latter may be a warning sign) With a women's college, I'd also do some checking to see if there isn't a possiblity it will go co-ed. Finally, look to see what opportunities there are for social activities and cross-registration at nearby colleges, just in case you need a bit of extra outlets down the road.</p>
<p>But, overall, smaller colleges can be great places, with lots of personal attention and a real sense of community. Good luck!</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm applying to Wells and Antioch (OH), but I'm not the most serious about them.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Wabash College EA. Wabash is an all-male college of 900 students in crawfordsville, Indiana. I go to a public high school of 2500 students just outside of St. Louis. Complete opposite for me.</p>
<p>i'm looking at hollins! I come from a school with a little over 2000 people</p>
<p>^^
I have two friends that go to Hollins, both of whom are incredibly smart (NMF's). One of them went to my hs of ~2500 students. They absolutely LOVE the school. lol, some of us wished we were female once they started telling us about the school. ;)</p>
<p>I went to R-MWC, just down the road from Sweet Briar.</p>
<p>It was smaller than my high school, and I wondered a bit about running out of things to do. My plan was to spend junior year abroad (they had a good program in England), so I'd have one year in a completely different place. </p>
<p>I applied and was accepted to the program in England, but I ended up NOT going because it still felt like there was so much I wanted to do right there at "home." </p>
<p>I graduated not having time to take many of the classes I was still interested in. There were professors I was still dying to have a course from! I hadn't exhausted the college catalog, the extracurriculars, or the other possiblities. And I didn't know everyone--I didn't even know everyone in my class (most I could put a name to, of course, but I certainly didn't KNOW everyone).</p>
<p>Still, a term or year abroad--or on another campus (SBC has such exchanges) is a good fallback. I expect, however, that you'll have plenty to keep you busy even if you're at the small college for all four years.</p>
<p>Son is being recruited for football at Kalamazoo College, a very good LAC in our state. He's not at a huge H.S., just over 1000 kids, but he is a bit worried about the small size of the college at 1234 students. Fortunately, like Carolyn mentioned, there's a large state school (26,000+) just across the street so the town is student/college-oriented. That's what's keeping him interested since he had ruled out the other D3-LAC's he had visited that were not only small, but had nothing else going on around it.</p>
