[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP my DC was similar, went to a small school and really thought he wanted the opposite for college early in the discussions (spring of sophomore year).  However, as he developed more academic interests, started thinking about majors etc that started to change.  It became even more clear with college tours, he didn't think the large lecture hall style classes were ideal for him, [b]also worried about ability to get classes he wanted/needed which is harder at large publics.   [/b]
My advice is don't worry, just help your DC get exposure to a variety of college types; start exploring the academic side so that they can make balanced choices and support their ultimate decision. [/quote]

Please stop the blanket statements, like the bolded.  I have kids at three different state universities and none of them have had a hard time getting the classes they needed.  They started working with their assigned advisors summer before freshman year even started and have been guided very well since then.  They also don't have huge classes.  [/quote]
