With access to the opinions of thousands of undergraduates across the country, the popular college search site Unigo recently conducted a survey of 15,000 college students asking them to rate their schools in 9 categories. Among the more interesting findings was the list of colleges and universities with the “most committed professors”:
Rank | Institution | Size |
1. | 911 | |
2. | Harvey Mudd, CA | 737 |
3. | Washington and | 1749 |
4. | 1421 | |
5. | 1209 | |
6. | 1523 | |
7. | 2977 | |
8. | 613 | |
9. | 1668 | |
10. | 976 |
Rank | Institution | Size |
1. | 1668 | |
2. | 2190 | |
3. | Sweet Briar, VA | 767 |
4. | 2430 | |
5. | Reed, OR | 1402 |
6. | 1636 | |
7. | 301 | |
8. | William & | 5776 |
9. | 1421 | |
10. | New | 785 |
Why would that be? Maybe it has something to do with the ability of undergraduates to foster closer relationships with professors in smaller environments. Perhaps it’s because small classes lead to greater intimacy with teaching staff, more individualized attention, and a deeper mutual respect between professors and students. And maybe these relationships lead to a greater appreciation for professors and better outcomes.
