My daughter is a soph at Cornell, planning on declaring linguistics. She seems to enjoy all her professors and classes. Her language focus is Mandarin, and she’s applying to do a semester in China in the fall. A great thing about Cornell is that there are so many languages there to pursue.

As to size…when we were looking for colleges, it seemed that no college had a linguistics program that could be called “big.” (It’s pretty likely that Tiggy’s daughter and mine know each other .)

Does your son do NACLO? The annual competition is at the end of January and DD found it great fun. Google NACLO and see if there’s a site near you.
