RE: Random Thought: A Cause To Pause

[Deb Briihl]

My first thought when reading this was that this student really needs to 
transfer to a school that better suits her needs. I know that when I 
applied to college that I wanted someplace smaller with smaller class 
sizes, etc. - but that is only because my parents forked out some extra 
cash to pay for a consultant to help me with my college choices. I received 
information that students are too often NOT given when applying to a 
college or university. Students should be aware that they will be walking 
into classes the size of small cities.
When I got to college, in addition to not feeling like a number, I acquired 
other valuable skills that other places may not have been able to give me - 
such as class participation and essay writing. I also was able to get to 
know my profs pretty well (and they were able to get to know me). Of 
course, this meant that I couldn't be "one in a crowd" - when there are 
only 7 people in the class, the prof knows when you are missing or haven't 
read the material ahead of time! Also, when the profs got to know me well, 
I was told information that I didn't want to hear from time to time.
