[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, opportunities to get to know profs well aren't just a small college thing. DH, DC and I all had those opportunities as undergrads (and I provided such opportunities *to* undergrads) at major research universities -- a total of 5 different ones. It's really exciting to work with profs who are doing interesting research rather than primarily focused on educating undergrads. And having grad students around not only gives academically-inclined undergrads more people to talk shop with, it also tends to mean larger departments, more faculty, and a greater variety of course offerings.[/quote] That may be true, but it's also true that there are plenty of university programs where the exciting and interesting work is done exclusively by grad students and undergrads aren't particularly welcome. And isn't the potential trade-off between large university settings and small colleges WRT research really an issue mostly for the hard sciences?[/quote]
