If you’re going to a university with engineering/business/etc. schools, then, fine – what percentage of students in the college of arts and sciences go abroad? At a large public, it may be a smaller percentage than at a LAC, but it should still be significant. I think that this is important information for students who want to do it - you want a robust program with flexible options, so the students who want study abroad will have a more seamless experience in terms of bureaucracy, travel paperwork, a four-year graduation plan that includes a semester away, etc. Schools where few students take this option don’t really offer the best support for those who do.
Another option might be a school that’s in a consortium. You get the small school that has the characteristics you like (a major, a study abroad program) but get the other schools in the consortium that might offer a few classes in a subject you like, a study abroad program that your school doesn’t offer. Your main school has the great English program, but another school offers Japanese or acting or figure skating classes.
For consortium or cross registration situations, check how convenient taking courses at the other colleges are, in terms of commuting between the colleges and whether the colleges have the same academic calendar.
