[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Penn State. Loved it, in much part because of the size. However, I was very independent and responsible. It would have been easy to blow off classes and fail out, like my brother did at another big state school. While I did ultimately join a sorority, that was a very small part of my experience (I ultimately quit it at the start of my senior year). I had friends in my dorm, in my major, in the extra-curricular and clubs I was in. Lots of opportunity to make it what you want it to be.[/quote]

I attended PSU - One of the biggest reasons why I disliked it was the size. Even though I was in the honors college, I felt the school was way too big. I felt like I was going to school at walmart or target.

I had friends who attended the larger population ivies and even they weren't all that thrilled with their experience either.

I have 3 siblings and my older sibling told me about school size but I blew it off.

I was the only one to attend a school larger than 7k in UG size and I by far had the worst undergrad experience.

Even my friends who went to the larger ivies told my younger siblings to go for top lac's if they didn't get into HYP.

Knowing me now, I would've done best at a much smaller school, but one that was in a major city so school size wouldn't be suffocating. [/quote]
