Smaller Classes May Not Be For Everyone, But They Can Help
TCNJ

Have you ever taken a class in high school or college that was really small? Did you like working in groups or did you prefer to do your own thing? Sometimes it doesn't matter whether you are in high school or college taking a small class can really help you to focus more on the subject along with actually being able to ask questions. In a large classroom filled with many people it may be hard to ask the professor the questions about a particular area then in a small classroom setting. Below are several reasons to take a small class if given the opportunity to do so, because not only does it help you focus, but it also allows to ask questions in a smaller setting if uncomfortable asking them in a large class including lab.

1. Having a small # in the class means you can actually ask questions and not feel bad about asking them.

2. If the class is a lab and there are only a few people in the entire class you may get to work together instead of being alone and sometimes this is a good thing.

3. You get to really know your classmates a little more throughout the semester.

4. The professor can be more involved in the activities/labs and be able to actually engage with the students.

6. If you ask questions in a smaller setting reoygarding the information you learned in the other class that you are taking and it relates you will not feel like an idiot for asking the question.

7. You may not care for everybody however being in a smaller class compared to a large one allows friendships/acquaintances to form and working with them seems easier.

8. You become supportive of one another and learn each other's personality.

9. It can help you to actually focus a little more.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
