Size and Type of College

[Angie]

What made you like the other one better?

It was just more of a community on the Mac Farms campus. I still had classes at the downtown campus, but I essentially got to live "on the farm" in the city. More homey for myself. The quality of education at McGill was astounding though. I highly recommend it. If you're into city life, can handle living in an appartment, and don't *NEED* greenspace, go to McGill. It's just very city. And I am very country.

The school's great though. Concordia is a little cheaper, and a pretty good option too.

University of Texas at Dallas...smaller than UT and A&M, but still pretty big (and growing)...at least it was last time I checked...

Western State College of Colorado: a small liberal arts school in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Its wonderful there, and there are 3 different ski resports all within an hour drive.

I currently take classes at both types.

Houston Community College Southwest - Alief Campus, Aprox. 1500 students average class size is about 20.

University of Houston, I'm honestly not sure about how many students attendt, I'd anywhere from 15 to 30 thousand, the average class size of the general education classes is about 200+

Well, a big or small college depends on the type of person honestly. Do you need more attention in a 30 student classroom or are you able to pass sitting along with 399+ more students in a big lecture hall? I am personally an independent/group study person, so I prefer a big college. I went to the local community college during high school and personally did not like how small the classes were. A small college offers you the ability to be with a semi-decent sized group of people, maybe a bit bigger than your class in high school. However, a big college allows you to meet several different people, although you lose that "small town" feeling. The good thing is that if you don't like someone, your odds of ever seeing them again are very low :p

I go to Michigan State University 40,000+ students and growing, go green!
