[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Undergrad students at smaller schools like CNU are likely to be taught by full professors rather than teaching assistants or part-time instructors. Some students prefer that. The connections one can get from actually having a mentoring relationship with a professor vs just being a butt in a seat is invaluable. First jobs are often the result of recommendations from faculty who know you as an individual. [/quote]

[b]Not[/b] true at all.[/quote][/quote]

Definitely true in my experience. Professors at my small, “unranked” undergrad helped me get into a more prestigious grad school and helped me get my first real job. I’m so glad I picked that little college back in the day![/quote]
You realize professors at top colleges all know each other? They literally pick up the phone to call their friends/co-authors? That said, I have no issue with anyone choosing an unranked college. Heck, I never think it’s a great idea to go to a top college if you’re clearly below average there. That’s why admitting an unprepared kid to a top college may be doing them a disservice.[/quote]
