[quote=Anonymous]From my experience at a large, decent state school for STEM....the first couple of years were mostly large, lecture style classes with some great profs, and some not so great. There was large mix of all kinds of students, some highly motivated, others not. I would say that my first two years of college were significantly less challenging than Jr Sr year of HS. It's when you get into the 300-500 level classes in your major (and outside, too) that you start getting really great in-depth class conversations, long form essay tests, and more one-on-one interactions with professors. One of these small, high level classes led to my first job in a lab and an eventual PhD and great career. Maybe at very selective schools, students get this experience from the freshman year, instead of having to make it to upper level courses. If you have a highly motivated student, then it may not matter as much.....[/quote]
