Yes, there are large classes, housing issues, use of TAs, etc at public universities. There are also large classes, housing issues, and use of TAs at private universities. There have been citations for both sides.

Only my second post to this thread, but I  imagine it’s popular partly because parents new to the college search process wish to educate themselves on the trade-offs of bigger vs smaller schools. Bigger schools might be better known and cheaper (in the case of publics), but will have more of these issues than, say, a liberal arts college. [/quote]

Small schools may have other issues - too many athletes, too few people, remote location, etc. Choose schools based on what issues you are able to ignore and still be happy. [/quote]

And dozens of small schools are closing because they just don't have the endowment.
