<p>Some freshman chemistry classes can be quite big, but classes like that are very much the exception.</p>
<p>i dont think it would be 250 in a class since that would mean more than about a fourth of the class in a room</p>
<p>My daughter had 8 kids in her Spanish class Freshman year, plus other small classes. According to M1817 above there were only 14 classes at Rice over 100 students. DD has had only a couple of large classes in 3 semesters, plus several very small ones with only a few students.</p>
<p>when i sat at rice for classes…all classes were about 15-20…at least the ones i went which were biochem, honors chem and chemistry in medicine</p>
<p>I sat in on an intro to bio course and there had to be around 200-250 students.</p>
<p>Intro Bio last semester had 157 students enrolled. The very largest class here last semester had 268 people (differential equations), but there were two smaller sections (one which had 57, and one which had 13). Everyone likes the prof in the big one though, so that’s why they choose it. 268 is completely abnormal for classes here.</p>
<p>yea thats what i meant to say</p>
