37. You Oughta Know: What to Think About When Considering "Big" vs "Small" Colleges
Kimberly Saunders is an Assistant Professor of English at Central Piedmont Community College and an award-winning writer. In this episode, Kim discusses her time as a student at SUNY Oswego. Among other things, we explore how clubs, organizations, campus culture, and a variety of other items might differ depending on the size of instiution a student decides to attend.
A few key takeaways:
- A smaller insitution might offer a more personalized experience when it comes to your major.
- Smaller univeristies can sometimes result in more "tightly knit" communities among students.
- Attending a smaller college could mean sacrificing the "big ticket" events that larger colleges are often known for, such as football and basketball games. The "school spirit" component is an important factor to consider.
Kim's song selection for this episode is "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. The connection, of course, is that this is information you oughta know when weighing your college options!
