I didn’t like my massive university, and did much better at the smaller LAC. My kid just isn’t interested, because 1) he is focused on STEM and wants the opportunity to do biomedical research, and 2) he is more interested in the opportunities that the larger universities might bring him. He has been accepted into the honors colleges of the schools that he has been accepted to, so that helped me feel better about it. I had some major qualms about the 300+ lecture hall memories that I had. Thus far, I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen available with honors at the big schools - it’s a way to get a bit of the best of both worlds. For me, I really enjoyed having that close relationship with my professors and was really hoping my son would get that. It looks like it’s still a possibility and I’m glad of it.
