<p>You mention not wanting to go to this school because it’s so large. Well, here is what sometimes happens at a small college - you outgrow it and wish that you were at a larger school with more opportunities. </p>
<p>My son is like you, more reserved and does not like a large crowd, but he realized (and we pointed out to him) that at a small school, he’d have fewer opportunities (fewer clubs, campus activities, internship opportunities, travel opportunities) and also fewer people to meet (while it’s good to meet people from a variety of backgrounds, it’s also nice to have a few friends who are like you). </p>
