[new] large schools vary too (none / 0) (#3)
by Anonymous Hero on Sat Feb 28, 2004 at 07:51:19 AM PDT

I have heard bad things about two fairly large departments, Penn State (lack of faculty support before passing qualifying exams) and West Virginia University (ever changing qualifying exam requirements/lack of support). However I have also heard good things about University of Maryland, which is quite large.
Small class sizes probably help, but I do not think they are required. A large school does offer one benefit to a liberal arts college student, a large variety of fields to study. Many liberal arts students don't know what field they want when they enter grad school.
