1. Small Class Sizes

Does this even need a description? Just ask yourself, if you had to choose between a class size of 400 students between four students which would you choose? I don't know about all of you, but the best bet would be that most of you would choose the classroom with the least amount of students. Why? Well, just ask yourself this "to learn or not to learn?" Well, since school stopped being free a long time ago, the answer to that would be learn.


2. Names Do Exist

I'm sure most if not all have heard someone say that their professor was just well, a professor. Nothing wrong with that, but at a small college the bonds of friendship usually form among students and faculty. As odd as it sounds, but our names exist here, and students stop being just an ID number.



3. Big Campus vs Small Student Body

Imagine this, you're at a huge campus with a student body population of lets say 600 what can you do? The answer, everything. When you're fortunate to have a big campus, and not a big number of students the possibilities to explore are endless. What's the biggest pro? Actually being able to have that secret hiding place.


4. Networking

Networking is probably a given, but it is a really awesome pro. Sometimes, getting started with your career needs a little boost from a professional already in that scene. What can a small college provide? Networking opportunities. Most if not all alumnis are always eager to help students because they know how the system works. Even if you're generations apart, let me just say you have a lot of connections already because of the shared college.


5. Real Community

Let's be honest, having a real sense of community at your school is a huge thing. What I do know, is that it is always found in a small college. So, why not?

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
