I went to a big school, and I would recommend it to most people who are going to choose a 4-year degree. It is so nice having some choice in your classes and teachers (although that's not always possible. I was also able to have a good choice in classes over Summer. Our math classes were offered year-round, so I could take one even on Summer break. Also a big school offers so many more resources, in general. Of course there were some class sizes that were huge (especially for freshmen, but most were not that big. The more specialized classes tend to be pretty small. A big school is probably not for everybody, but I liked it a lot.

And that's presuming they'll accept your application. the rest of us end up just picking the best acceptance rate with the highest probability of landing a job afterward depending on major. Once upon a time I had my sights on doing a masters - looking at today's climate I'm not so sure anymore, if I get a first in my degree I'm sure I'd get a lot of people barking at me to program their robot anyway - if I had any suggestion for today's computer science student: choose a focus and avoid general cs - no one wants a generalist, they want a specialist.

From my experiences, choose whichever college suits best to you BUT:
- Avoid for-profits
- Opt for the ones that are --regionally-- accredited rather than national accredited

Will there be any episodes on international study? I don-t live in the US and would love to learn more about how the college process would look for an international student!
Love the series! -

I went overseas, from US to UK. I-m currently overseas. Im not sure how this-ll pan out. I had to learn about that myself, cause no one in high school told me I could do that.

I got very lucky - as a professor's son, I was able to get into the local university in my hometown, and finished with no debt when I graduated (not to rub it in for anybody.

Also as a PSA if you know you do better in smaller classes, community colleges tend to have smaller classes than the typical 4-year schools.
