I have 2 kids at 2 large state schools, from 20,000 - 30,000 undergrads.

There are definitely ways to make large schools smaller, and I have been so impressed at how personal some of the professors are at my rising sophomore’s school. She did poorly on a test in a gen Ed class of about 250 other students. The professor not only emailed her and asked her to come talk, she also followed up after the next test to congratulate her on how much better she did.

It’s not the only example, but if he chooses a bigger school than you had hoped, know that all is not lost in terms of personal attention or accountability.
