Then a small college may be just what you need. Some students find that a smaller setting is a better fit. Although there may be fewer facilities, there are also fewer students to compete with.
Here are some of the benefits associated with small colleges. Again, these may not be true of all of them:
Small class sizes
Hands-on learning opportunities
Individually designed majors
Strong advising system; advisers know students well
Strong sense of community
Professors, not teaching assistants, teach most courses
Opportunity to get to know professors well
