"By the time I got to the courses I really care about, anatomy and physiology, classes were around 30-40 students. It鈥檚 really special because you get to have connections with professors who really care about what they鈥檙e talking about, and TAs have more time to spend with you and support you, which creates a sense of community. You鈥檙e not a single person sitting in a sea of 500, you鈥檙e part of a team and I鈥檝e made some really great friends in my classes.鈥�
