<p>True, it's not exactly the wisest route to base one's decision too heavily on the amount of courses one college offers against the amount another offers. However, consider this anecdote. When I arrived here and it was time to choose classes, I was positively overwhelmed by all the classes I could take, and all the possible schedules I could create. And to top that off, all the schedules worked because there were so many different time slots for so many courses due to the size of the undergraduates here. In contrast to that, a friend of mine who enrolled at a smaller school was indeed excited about a lot of courses but her excitement fizzled when she realized almost none of her courses fit because of the time constraints of a smaller community with fewer courses to offer. She ended up taking a class she wasn't at all interested in to fulfill a mandatory freshman requirement.</p>
