“I think I just like smaller schools in general.” Have you visited the UCSD campus? It is a huge campus in a busy, densely populated area. La Jolla is a gorgeous setting for a school and the campus is beautiful. It is set right across from the beach and the glider port. It is right up the hill from La Jolla Village and La Jolla Cove. It is not too far from downtown San Diego and there is a lot of hiking, bike riding, and water sport activity year round. The weather is pretty close to perfect. However, the school is very large and class size-especially GE classes can be huge. Lectures can be 200-300 people, however many have break-out type sessions that are led by TA’s and are much smaller. The University is broken into 6 colleges so it doesn’t seem quite as big, but it is still a very large school. You would get a great education and the area is without a doubt beautiful, but it sounds like it is a questionable fit for you given your statement about liking smaller schools.
