[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]

Dp. I think that’s the point. That there are many factors to “fit” beyond finding your peer group.  Different kids have different priorities and needs.  [/quote]
