Throughout the stressful process of narrowing down which college to attend it is important to distinguish between public and private universities. After weeks of soul searching and internet researching, it became clear that I would be able to thrive more effectively in the academic environment of a private school. Here are the 10 reasons that I chose to attend a private university.
10. The Small Class Sizes
While studying at a private university the class sizes are commonly less than thirty students and they typically downsize once the classes become more major specific. This trend is also apparent in public schools, but instead of starting introductory courses at thirty students, they can range from forty to one-hundred.
9. The Intimacy of the Student Community
Private universities are much smaller than public colleges and contain a much smaller student body population. This results in a very close-knit community of familiar faces and an overall friendly atmosphere.
