I've found that the smallest classes at my school have also been the most rewarding.
Sure you could sit in every day on my morning Thermo lecture and go unnoticed, but I've learned very little in that class that I couldn't already get out of an excellent textbook.
On the other hand Pharmacokinetics meets once a week in the professor's office. He also happens to be one of the leaders of the field. For two hours a week we get to discuss complex pharmacokinetic practices, ask open ended questions and, as he would say "learn how to learn". Museum Display Theory also meets once a week off campus with the head curator of the city art museum and today we discussed Foucault's Panopticon as it relates to museum curation.
These are things worth paying for, or as in my case, working hard enough to get financial aid for.

- L_Rahman 13y ago> meet potential cofounders So true. The people I'm planning to do my startup are battle tested. We've pulled all nighters, dealt with high stress situations, and come out of it as friends. We know each others work habits, strengths and weaknesses. All of that is going to be really important when we'll have just graduated with probably no funding.
