<p>Rutgers University New Brunswick Campus is one of the colleges I'm transferring to after 1 or 2 years at County College of Morris. I enjoy small classes at CCM but I'm worried that if I transfer to Rutgers as a sophomore or junior, I feel I might be put in a large lecture hall. I want to be part of a big university but I want to have all small classes like maximum of 30 students in a classroom. Is there anyway that I could be put in a small class at Rutgers?</p>
<p>chances of that happening is really slim. Alot of classes in Rutgers are rather large…</p>
<p>I guess if you avoid the 100-level classes and almost anything that has “Intro to” or “General to”, like General Biology, Intro to Communication, General Psychology, etc. </p>
<p>The higher levels like 300 and 400 tend to have smaller class room settings.</p>
<p>It depends also a bit on your major. A popular major probably has bigger classes, whereas engineering classes by the junior year I hear can be small. BTW, I am also a CCM-er.</p>
<p>I actually had a class at Rutgers with 13 students in it, I’m sure more enrolled but they never showed up or dropped it before the class started, that is obviously going to be rare</p>
<p>Some of the 300-level history courses have minimum 50 students in them, but at least in my experience, excluding the one with the 13, I’ve never had a small class</p>
<p>The more defined you get in your major, i.e. the junior and senior level classes, the classes tend to get smaller. Although if you’re doing a major that every other ****tard and their brother is doing like psychology or economics I wouldn’t count on really small sizes.</p>
<p>it depends on the major. i’m in a lot of writing classes, so they are small (15 people). i also got lucky this year; i’m i a 300-level poli sci lecture with less than 60 people, which is small as hell considering my first poli sci class (101) had 500. yeah. u should be fine as an upper classman in higher classes</p>
<p>There aren’t too many classes with only 30 kids. However, 40-60 is quite possible and normal after 100 level courses.</p>
<p>there are:
16 people in my expository writing class
21 people in my french syntax class
if that’s considered a “small class”</p>
<p>otherwise, popular courses like psychology and linguistics
take place in an auditorium where you can guess there’s about 80-100 people.</p>
<p>hope this helps :)</p>
<p>is there a set maximum number of people in a class?(e.x. 150??)</p>
<p>the classes in lecture halls have up to 450 I believe
I have a good mix of big and small classes… the higher the level, the smaller the class!</p>
<p>terminus1256 - Are you implying that people that major in psychology and/or
economics are ****tards? Honestly, the only thing I got out of your comment
is how much of an ass you are.</p>
<p>I am a math major, and naturally, none of the 200, 300, or 400 level classes have more than like 30 students. (Most have under 20.)</p>
