[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree.  I found my friends at my large college, but I had a horrible experience because it was a cold, uncaring environment.  I was really lost, and it was clear that no one cared. I think I’d have done much better at a smaller school where professors/ administrators had some knowledge of the students.

Fit is about more than just finding a good group of peers.   [/quote]

This. Access to my professors was so nice, along with smaller classes.

I had exactly one class in a large lecture hall, and that was because I was taking the one science clsss for non science students [/quote]

I'm curious about your experience. My kid graduated from a private in DC with only 70 people.  My kid wanted to spread his wings, so to speak, and attend a huge state university.  All kids are different.

My kid enjoyed life at the big school and made many friends while being on the deans list.  To me, "Fit" is where your kid will be happy and thrive!  A choice only your kid can make and take ownership of their choice![/quote]

I was the one early in the thread who said I wouldn’t have enjoyed a huge school. My college was about 3x the size of my high school. It really was a perfect size for me. I got to go to a school with great academics and fun big time sports even with the smaller size. I also shared earlier that I knew it was my place the moment we drove onto campus.

And since I know people will complain, it was Wake Forest in the 90s. It is bigger now than it was 30 years ago - they added 2000 students since then.[/quote]
