Should you go to a large university or a
smaller college?

Deciding what school you should go to requires a lot of thought
and planning. Universities typically have a larger student
enrollment and offer many more options for your education.
There are three major advantages to going to a university as opposed
to a smaller college.
The first advantage is the actual degree. Typically a
university degree will have more 'clout' than a smaller college
degree. It isn't always the case, but universities have a good
reputation for providing a quality education at three different
levels--the Bachelors, Masters and Doctorates.
The second advantage is the social education. Because you
will be attending a university with a large amount of people, you
will be more diverse socially and many employers will look favorably
at this.
Of course the main advantage of going to a university for your
college education: You will have more choices for your
curriculum and major. What if, for example you decide to go to
a liberal arts college and get half way through your freshman year
when you realize that you really hate all of your classes and want
to change your major? At a university you would have the
option of selecting another curriculum offered without having to
move or switch schools.
These are all things to consider when you are looking at
colleges.
