Small Campus Colleges

Small campus colleges often have a strong feeling of community among students and faculty. By attending a smaller school, students can look forward to more personalized interaction with their professors and smaller class sizes. Many small colleges are liberal arts schools, so they offer a diverse education on many topics. While there may be fewer people to meet and fewer majors to choose from, for some people, a small campus college can be a perfect fit.
