| Class size really varies. For the most part, you can choose what classes you take and thus, the size , so it's really personal prerogative. This semester, I am in one class with six people, one with about 15, one with 60, and one with over a hundred. However, that was my personal choice and you don't have to take large classes EXCEPT possibly for an intro for your major. For other courses, you can just avoid the intro courses and take smaller courses that don't require pre-reqs. So don't worry about needing to take big classes as this will only happen once or twice during your career.
However, you might change your mind about lectures. I came into college wary of big classes and hoping to avoid them, but during shopping period I fell in love with one course that was a huge lecture and stayed in it - and it was one of the best courses I've ever taken. Also, with many big courses, you have a discussion section. So for example, my intro film course is the one with about 60 people, but once a week I meet with a group of about 15 with a TA (who is awesome) to casually discuss what we've seen in lecture. |
