College - Big Fish, Small Pond

            If you compare Walsh to most other universities it is significantly smaller. To some people they see this as a disadvantage. They see a smaller school as less prestigious with a lesser social life. Most get attracted to the allure of the big schools, the large sporting events filled with many students and just many activities on campus day to day. By focusing on how lucrative bigger schools are most people lose focus on the most important part of college, the education aspect. Smaller schools offer you smaller class sizes with more individual attention with your professor. As for the social aspect of college wherever you go it is however you chose to make it. You will never know everyone at your college no matter how big on how small it is so in the end it is up to you on how you socialize at your respected university. Another advantage of going to a smaller school is the feeling that you are just not another number at a school. You can feel like you actually matter instead of just being lost in a crowd. There is more of a chance of standing out at a smaller school instead of just standing in the shadows of others or blending in with others at a larger university. .
             It varies from school to school on how good the actual education of the school is. I just feel that at a smaller institution you have a higher opportunity to receive more individual attention with professors to better understand all the concepts that you cover in your classes. Bigger schools usually have larger classes up to 500 students especially for freshman. My average student/teacher ratio here at Walsh is 12:1. The bigger class sizes could damage the academic progress of a student as soon as they get to college. Smaller schools also offer smaller classes so classes are less lectured and more like a whole class discussion so you can any questions you may have answered during class. Also it is easier to get a hold of your professor after class to receive additional help.
