[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a huge university (Berkeley). Once you get into the major and get beyond the feeder courses, it's not all huge classes; you do get know your professors. Each school and major is like a smaller university inside a huge one, with all the resources of a big research school. [b]The only reason not to go to a big school IMO (besides personal taste), is if you are not at all self-directed. It is really, really easy to fall into party culture, cutting classes, etc., because there is very little oversight those first few semesters, and there are a lot of opportunities for distraction. Also, no one is going to notice or care if you miss your 250-person lecture[/b].[/quote] Yeah - this was my undergrad experience at a top university, and I have major regrets. [/quote]
