[quote=Anonymous]I find these debates amusing. It seems like small class size advocates often have a bias against large universities and an idealized view of smaller schools. They imagine their kids having dinner and drinks with professors, engaging in weighty, esoteric discussions about literature or other profound topics. For context, I attended a directional school with over 40,000 students, yet I often had classes with no more than 20 students. I was even invited to a professor's house for dinner and drinks. I think many fans of SLACs struggle to grasp that not every class at a large university has 500 students. Once you realize that large public and private universities also offer smaller classes and access to professors, the main argument for choosing a SLAC or similar college starts to lose its weight. That may be an extreme statement, but I don’t think it’s far from the truth.[/quote]
