Hi everyone, I’m new here. I’ve decided to join UCSD thanks to its offer. But I’ve been feeling a little bit disappointed that I don’t seem to have a chance learning in a private college. Since I am a high school student outside America, the college cost of a public school is as high as a private one for me.(And I have been told for so long that the education of private colleges in US is absolutely unique and special) The reason why I was interested in private colleges is that in each class there might not be so many students and maybe it helps to get myself involved more. I am so glad that I got accepted by UCSD, but I am not sure if I can do a great job being a member in a large class. Can anyone give me any suggestions about the atmosphere of having classes with like 2 to 3 hundred students, and how to learn better in class? THANKS A MILLION!
