Actually, as I mentioned on another thread, people who think they will know everyone at a small school are incorrect. If one is looking for close relationships with faculty and small classes, unless they are in an honors program at a big school, the benefits/opportunities of a small school offer this from the get go

S23 picked a very large OOS university that housed a very niche research center that aligned with his research goals. It’s a center he would not have found in a small LAC, and by the end of freshman year, he had prime research opportunities and very close relationships with faculty. He was invited to present at conferences, earned a URE, and is now considered a valuable member of this research team. I think it’s a myth that close professorial relationships are guaranteed at smaller schools and hard to come by at larger ones.
