<p>At the large state schools, it seems pretty common that there are going to be large classes, but I have also heard that those classes are primarily the 'intro' and freshman prereq. classes. Does that seem to be the case at FSU?<br>
Once you are into the course more directed at your major, do you tend to hang out in one general area of the campus more...and get to know those students more...sort of a school within a school feeling?</p>
<p>This is true at virtually all large, state schools. Some classes are divided between lectures, presented by a professor in a large auditoriums, followed by smaller “discussion groups,” led by grad students.</p>
<p>Mostly General education such as bio,chem, algebra…ect</p>
<p>Honestly, it will probably depend on your major. There’s lots of large classes (Baby Bio, BSC1005; Gen Chem I, CHM1045; etc) but you might only have one or two that you have to take in your major.</p>
<p>I’ve had a couple classes for my major that were around 100 people or so, and then the normal Gen Ed classes (Chem 1, Ancient Myth, Met 1010) that were larger. In all of the classes I’ve taken though, I can only think of one really “large” class that didn’t also have recitation scheduled when the class was essentially broken into smaller sections, and that was Ancient Myth.</p>
<p>I’ve also taken a couple online classes that had a few hundred people in them. I believe that one class I took last summer had 600 people in it.</p>

<p>Did you find that you needed to take online course in order to get all the classes you needed? Do you think a lot of students find that to be the situation?</p>
<p>I’ve never “had” to take an online class, no. And I don’t know anyone that had to take any of them, it was just easier to take the classes online.</p>
<p>Honors classes are usually around 20 or fewer students.</p>
