<p>I was concerned that the small-department school my son looked at (but did NOT go to) had so few classes offered (in addition to having only two faculty members). To get the basic degree, he would take all but two classes. To get the honors degree, he would take Every Single Class they offered in the department. I know that there are wonderful opportunities for independent study and research, and I hope he avails himself of some of those opportunities where he goes. But I really hated the idea that there was so little variety and choice of classroom classes.</p>
<p>I’m glad to see there are posters who were happy with small-department choices! </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
