<p>Not true at all! One of my classes is 80 students yet the prof knows everyone’s name and holds discussions every single day. In fact, class participation is worth 10% of our final grade. Another one of my classes is smaller, 50 students, and yet again the prof knows our names and holds discussions during lecture. Both of these large classes feel just as interactive as my 16 person seminar. Bottom line, it depends on the prof.</p>
<p>As for the OOP question…both have their advantages and disadvantages. It depends on your preference. At a small school, everyone will know each other and each other’s business whereas at a large school there are people you may never meet. Maybe you’re the type of person who likes meeting new and different people every day. Maybe you like large lecture classes and having major research institutions nearby. Or maybe you want all the focus to be on you. It’s up to you.</p>
