[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above said “may be less likely” to get support, not that you “will” be less likely.

Undoubtedly there are professors at larger schools who will help students during illness and other difficulties.

These discussions always involve generalizations about types of schools. Of course one’s experience will depend on the individual school.

That said, I know a family whose child was at a larger (state) school and had health issues, and they very much felt like their child was treated as a number and did not receive much support at all. But I’m sure that isn’t the case with every large school.

It boggles the mind that some parents actually think a *university* is going to check in on your kid.  Seriously?  What kind of health issues did this kid have?  Sounds like they should have attended college very close to home.[/quote]

I’m not sure exactly what the health issue was but it was something that arose after the kid was in school there, not before. He missed a lot of class and  the school was not very responsive when he was trying to overcome that. So the parents were frustrated.
