[quote=Anonymous]Nope. I've thought about this before. I went to a medium-sized, academically strong public state flagship. I'm a naturally shy person that enjoys a close knit community, so there were many points before and briefly, during my college career that I thought a small LAC would've been a better fit. But my school ended up being the perfect fit for me. Though I struggled to make friends for the first semester, I eventually found my niche and absolutely thrived. I was able to take the perfect balance of largish and small classes. The resources that came with a thriving research university helped me so much. And though I'm not a particularly sporty person, I came to really [i]love[/i] the school spirit and energy around the sports teams. Yes, there were instances in which I had to advocate for myself (as opposed to perhaps being "coddled" at a tiny school), but I can assuredly saw that they forced me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow as a person.

Also - from a location standpoint - the school was in the perfect location for then 18 year old me. In-state, far enough from my parents to enjoy abundant freedom, but reasonably close enough that it was nice to have that security blanket of home for when I needed it. I would've adjusted, but I don't think I would've enjoyed an incredibly far or close school.[/quote]
