<p>I'm a sophomore at Rutgers. What does your daughter want to study? It completely depends. Will she come in with AP credit and be able to move on to upper level, smaller classes? Will she be eligible to take honors classes?</p>
<p>Certain intro classes are small-- i.e. Expository Writing, Language classes, etc. However, you can't expect Intro to Psych, Bio, or PoliSci to be small classes at any college, to my knowledge.</p>
<p>What might your daughter study? I might be able to give you some more info from there. Also, the newly created freshmen seminars might assuage some of your fears. I've never taken one since they're starting next year, but supposedly they should be cool-- a professor is supposed to lead a small class of freshmen in some sort of culturally enriching way?? I'm not really sure about how it's going to work or if they're going to follow through .</p>

"Rutgers will create first-year seminars available to all New Brunswick/Piscataway first-year students. These will be academically exciting, one-credit courses taught by regular faculty members in small, interactive settings."</p>
<p>By the way, northeastmom--- what's really the difference between a class of 100 and 500? I could never figure that out...</p>
