I think we’d all agree that a college can get at least some notariety from being merely larger than other colleges.<<




I think we’d all agree to that only if you include negative publicity in your definition of “notoriety.” A school being big is more typically viewed as a disadvantage. If size gets you prestige, why aren’t mondo schools like Arizona State pegging the needle on the prestige-o-meter?
