Small private schools vs big state schools?

<p>

</p>

<p>A student unsure of major may find a small school to be limiting. For example, suppose a student attending South Dakota Mines wants to switch to a humanities or social studies major, or a student attending Sarah Lawrence wants to switch to a science major. Even when a major is offered, it may not be particularly good, such as computer science at Amherst.</p>

<p>A student who is very advanced in his/her major may find the more limited course offerings at a small school to be too limiting.</p>

<p>In other words, it depends on the student whether a small or large school is the best fit.</p>
