| sgiovinc: Our s. attends CMU as well, and he is finding the opposite with regard to classes (at least that is our interpretation). It is too early for us to say if CMU is over or underrated yet. I am just surprised at the difference he has experienced. He tells us his classes (except one) are all over 80 students! The student/teacher ratio in SCS is fantastic, and based on our questions and research, we expected a mix of class sizes, so we were disappointed in the number of large lecture-type classes. It is hard to find any personal attention with those numbers, and because he is not the type of student to seek guidance on his own, I'm concerned that he is more of "a number" at CMU (so far). We're hoping that will change in future years, but it has been a disappointment initially. |
