Big School or Small School?

Big School or Small School?

Personally I have no idea. I mean I’ve only ever gone to small schools, so I have no idea how a big school would be. I like small schools because well I guess you basically know everyone, so you’re never really nervous. And plus you know everyone so there is no thinking like “Do they like me? Do they even know who I am? Ect” weird things like that. Everyone knows everyone at small schools. Plus at small schools its really easy to get extra help after school or during class because with a small school, there are less people in the school, which means less people per class. With less people per class, you can then have a better relationship with your professor or teacher. And most likely the professor or teacher will also call you by name, and hopefully know every student by name. Another benefit or good thing about being in a smaller school is that it’s a lot easier to navigate your way through the hall ways and ect. In big schools it can be very easy to get lost or not know where you are going. With a small school it is better for you if you are seriously bad at directions or knowing which place to go. Plus with small schools it’s not only easier to find classes but it’s a lot smaller campus so it’s a much shorter walk between classes and other things.

But big schools are also good because with bigger schools you have a lot more options in which things you would like to do. For example there would probably be electives, unlike how at Saipan International School you are assigned all of your classes and have no choice of what to take. At bigger schools you would have electives and you could choose which different types of classes’ interest you and you would be interested in taking. Also it’s not only with classes. But with bigger schools it not only has electives, but they have a lot more extra-curricular activities. At small schools they might not have all of the sports you would want to participate in, or all the clubs you want to participate in. For example a small school like Saipan International School does not have electives available for students to choose and they have sports, but they do not have all of the extra-curricular other larger schools have. For example Marianas High School has pretty much all the extra-curricular activities that Saipan International School has, plus even more like the Glee Club and ect. Therefore I’m not exactly sure which I would be able to pick because both have their ups and downs.
