<p>My freshman son was in the size quandry last year. He did really like a particular small LAC, but the course offerings were very limited. He also liked some things about our flagship state U, but he felt that it might be too big for him. He is comfortably settled in a medium sized U. Lots of course selections and groups, but not so big as to get lost. Although he had a couple of larger lectures as a freshman, his sophomore classes should all have between 12 and 30 students...pretty decent size in my opinion. He has had excellent and easy contact with his profs this year. To each his own, I guess.</p>
