No one judges you from the first day of school and keeps that mentality about you for the rest of the time that they know you.

2. You get to meet different kinds of people

You aren’t stuck with the same stupid people that don’t care about what they are learning. Instead, you get different viewpoints and people with different backgrounds to make your learning experience more interesting.

3. The reputations of people you meet don’t proceed them

No one is popular in a school with so many. Not even sports teams are acknowledged as much as they would be in high school.

4. Better resources

In most cases with 13,000 people paying roughly $25,000 a year to attend a college like Rowan University, that money generally means better things for the students going there. Better events, better buildings, and better housing are definitely a plus.

5. The school is medium sized

The benefit of not going to a school like Ohio State with 45,000 undergraduates is that class sizes aren’t super huge and you don’t feel like as much of a number. At Rowan the biggest class size I have ever had was 50 and I’m sure the lecture halls at schools like Ohio State and Syracuse University are humongous.
