<p>There are two schools of thought on this and to some degree it depends on whether introverted includes ‘shy’ or not. </p>
<p>Some introverts like a big school because they value the privacy and anonymity it provides. They prefer sitting in a lecture hall where they won’t be forced to participate in a discussion. They don’t want everyone around them to know ‘their business’ as often happens at a very small school. They may also want more housing options, more eating options, more choice about how they structure their time than might be available on a smaller, and especially a more ‘small town’ environment. A big school may give them more control over their environment by not forcing them to conform to a particular set of cultural norms because there are so many sub-groups on campus.</p>
<p>The other perspective is that introverts thrive at small schools (often liberal arts colleges-LACs) where it’s easy to meet people and make friends because you see the same people in a variety of settings throughout your day - in class, in the dorm, at the dining hall. That creates a strong sense of community and even the shyest, quietest introvert is likely to find it easy to make connections. It’s somewhat less competitive and more nurturing because people who know each other create norms about competing that don’t arise in large anonymous groups. It’s also easier to get to know the faculty one on one when there isn’t a line outside the office door or a crowd in the office during office hours. And small group discussion isn’t so intimidating once you know everyone around the table - which happens after a few classes.</p>
<p>Of course, schools aren’t all at one extreme or the other. There are lots- probably most - that are somewhere in the middle. But only you can decide which end of the scale feels most comfortable for you.</p>
