[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM loves to quote USNWR stats. Well look at this one:

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/undergraduate-teaching

Even here Michigan is top 20. #13 actually. So not “many schools” have better undergraduate quality than Michigan. Michigan has virtually no weakness as an academic institution.  Yes even comparable to most of the Ivies.

Michigan is a good school but it is maybe way too large with its 40000+ student body and large class sizes ([b]200+ in every classes)[/b] for some kids to handle.[/quote]

You do realize that all schools have 200+ kids in Freshman classes and this starts thinning out as the classes progress, right?  Or do you think all schools have a fixed quota of teachers and they just have to manage regardless of number of students?  [/quote]

They don’t all have 200 kids in them. However, it doesn’t matter if they do. SLACs usually use small class size as a selling point. For some, it matters. But one is not necessarily better or worse.

One tour guide said she wouldn’t know what to do in a class size of 200 and would not “know how to meet people” at such a big school. I chuckled. What is the world? Big. What are corporations like Tesla, Apple, Google, NBC? Big. May as well get used to meeting people…
