[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I don’t see anyone denying that impacted majors exist, that housing is a big issue at nearly all of the UC’s (apart from UCLA’s triples), that there are in fact some classes with more than 1000 kids enrolled, etc. . .   We are just being told it doesn’t matter, which of course is personal opinion.  To me, it matters.[/quote]

DP.  I have no connection with UCLA or any school in CA.  However, I find it laughable that you keep insisting there are some classes with "more than 1000 kids enrolled."  Please provide a citation.  And virtual classes do not count.  Show us one school that has a lecture hall of 1000 or more students.  [/quote]

University of Washington does. My friend’s daughter who attends showed us when we visited. But her discussion and lab sections are small and she loves it there.[/quote]

And yet Ivies have large classes too. Citations provided.

Cornell- NYT references a class with 1600 students.

Cornell's largest course for years, Intro to Psych draws more than 800 students to the only classroom that will accommodate them – Bailey Hall.
Bailey Hall hold ls 1300 students. https://ezramagazine.cornell.edu/winter15/CoverStorySidebar5.html#:~:text=Cornell's%20largest%20course%20for%20years,as%20laughter%2C%20memory%20and%20sex.
