Small Colleges

Many students choose to attend a smaller college.  They are more comfortable with a smaller student body and a more close-knit community.  In a lot of cases the small college scenario is very similar to a typical high school, and many students are very comfortable with this fact.

There are advantages to a smaller college, as well as disadvantages.  You should write a Pros/Cons list to weigh all of the factors before you commit to the small college. 

In many cases the smaller colleges are as expensive as the medium size colleges and universities.  So, cost may not be your determining factor.  Details of small colleges can be found in the links on the right navigation bar.
