I’d also encourage reading of the student newspapers, following social media feeds, and signing up for virtual student panels. You can get a good sense of the “vibe” of school.

As an aside, even big flagships usually only have large lecture courses freshman year. And, nowadays, it’s very common for any large class to have mandatory recitations of 20-25. The class sizes drop off very quickly going forward as well.

I wonder if there are schools allowing prospective students to sit in on classes virtually this Fall? IMO, one of the most important things is hearing the conversations between profs/students and how that dynamic flows. Are students stressed out? Are professors engaged? What is the feel of the classroom.
