<p>I do college info sessions for my alma mater (one of those near the top listed above). I find the student to prof ratio to be somewhat misleading in terms of actual student face time with instructors. Here’s why: even if a school was 1:1 ratio, it still wouldn’t matter if the student was a wallflower and never engages his/her instructors. What is the student like in High School?</p>
<p>To argue that material differences in a school with a 6:1 ratio versus one with an 8:1 ratio is pointless IMHO. It 95% depends on the confidence and initiative of the student.</p>
