[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid there now.

Pros. They like the liberal vibe.  They love the flexibility to take anything they want pass/no pass.  (And if a kid fails a course, it shows up on internal transcript for advisor to see, but not published on external transcript.). This encouraged my kid to take chances with hard CS courses and to not panic too much when a course wasn't going well.

Cons.  Classes are quite large in the popular majors (econ, CS, math).  (Kid doesn't mind this, but I kind of do.). Providence isn't much of a town--for fun, they go to Boston.  Very run-down dorms and lousy cafeteria food.[/quote]

How big are the large classes? Around what percentage of classes are taught by graduate students ?[/quote]

I don't know the statistics.  For my kid (econ major) it seems like over half have been >100 students each, some more like 200.  I think humanities are much smaller-- is in a writing class now and I think it's more like 20-25.[/quote]
