Personality differences between those who go to large national colleges vs small liberal arts?

From https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/admissions/graduate-admissions/admissions-phd-students:

In the Ph.D. program, students shape their course of study working within an academic framework developed with a Special Committee of faculty advisors chosen by the student (and including in some fields, a field-appointed member). The Ph.D. is offered by sixteen engineering-related graduate fields. Doctoral programs are typically completed in four to five years.

To learn more about the following Ph.D. programs, select the Graduate Field link to visit the web pages of the school or department offering the degree program.

Aerospace Engineering

Biological and Environmental Engineering

Applied Mathematics

Applied Physics

Biomedical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Computer Science

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Geological Science

Information Science

Materials Science and Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Operations Research

Statistics

Systems Engineering

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

These are the PhD programs offered by Cornell Engineering. I only left out the word “engineering” in one instance, namely, in “Materials Science and Engineering”. Also, in many engineering schools (likely including Cornell Engineering), students would enroll in the PhD programs but leave after receiving their master degrees, since PhD programs are funded while master programs are not. It’s a technique used by many. In other words, enrollment statistics aren’t reliable.
