Hey Carbon, Welcome!
Deciding on size could be a significant issue for your S. First of all, he’s young and so his preference may change a lot over the next couple of years. His need for structure/support may also diminish during that time. More importantly, “small” is a relative term. Is a school one-quarter the size of UFlorida or UWisconsin or UMichigan that small really? I’m a huge fan of Occidental College, but that wonderful insititution has less than 2,000 students. Getting the classes one needs can be an issue, and taking a year abroad requires very careful planning lest your S drift into that dreaded “Year 5.” Good luck with the search!
