You probably know the saying “big fish in a small pond.” What about small fish in a big pond? Or medium-sized ponds? Old adages aside, school size and student population can greatly influence your university experience. Going from a small, familiar high school to a big state university can be jarring—or it could be just the change you need.
What comes to mind when considering your education after graduating from high school? One of the first considerations is often size, and when looking at colleges and universities, you really do need to ask yourself: Do I want to attend a small college or a large university? There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Think about envisioning yourself at the school of your choice, and then take a look at the pros and cons. There are no wrong answers; it just depends on what you prefer.
