Does the relative size of a department indicate quality?

<p>i have a question that relates to this. how important is is really to go to a school with your intended major as it’s strength? There are a few schools i’m looking at where I like the location and other factors, but some of the programs i’m interested in are not listed as being strong. For these types of programs, what does it mean if they aren’t strong? Will it really be a lot worse than a strong program? What sort of situations exist?</p>
