<p>I was accepted into the Gallatin program at NYU. Im debating between Boston College and NYU.</p>
<p>I know Gallatin prides itself with its classes capped at around 20, The ones I have seen are about 15, Even one with a famous professor. But since I will be taking classes at CAS, Stern, School of continueing and professional studies I was wondering on the class sizes in each of those. Are classes taught by TA's or professors. Even if you had experiene/knowlege with one of the above schools feel free to leave any feedback. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.</p>
<p>Thus far, I've been in 15 courses in CAS, almost all of which have been huge. This semester, for instance, I'm taking 5 classes.... 4 of which all have more than 150 students. The other is a language class. </p>
<p>My impression of class size at CAS has been negative, as I have been unable to ever get into any classes smaller than these (except in the summer). In the coming fall, I get to look forward to 4 more huge seminars, plus a language class.</p>
<p>I've had pretty much the exact opposite experience, but I've been taking Honors chemistry classes since freshman year, which has undoubtedly made the difference. First semester freshman year, my chemistry and calculus II classes had about 40 people each. My chemistry lab had about 20. For Classical Mythology (a freshman honors seminar with Dean Santirocco, who's a fabulous professor) I had about 15 classmates, and for World Cultures, our class had maybe... 100-120.</p>
<p>Some intro classes definitely get huge. First semester of Principles of Bio had like 450 people.</p>
<p>As you accumulate semesters at NYU, it gets easier as well. Because you register in the order of the amount of credits you have, as you go from freshman to sophomore to junior years you get to register earlier and earlier as compared to the rest of the college, so you have a better crack at getting into the small classes that tend to fill up first.</p>
<p>danielJ-how much are summer classes (typically)?</p>
