Time to select a college? Not so fast. With more than 1,600 four-year colleges and universities to choose from, you will need to think this one through. As we mention in our article "Selecting the 'Right' School," size is an important consideration. As a frame of reference, a small- or medium-sized college is one with fewer than 5,000 students and a large or very large university is one with more than 5,000. If you select small or medium, you will be able to choose from a list of over 1,200 schools; if you choose large or very large, then your list will include almost 400 schools. Midsize schools to some extent combine qualities of both small and large schools and offer a sort of compromise.
So, if you are feeling confused about whether you would be better off at a small college or a large university, we have prepared this checklist for you as a starting point in your research. Go through the advantages listed below in each category and check off the ones that mean the most to you. One word of caution: every school is different, and the qualities listed are generalizations that won't hold true for every small or large school.
