Additionally, I think it is important to note that not all college classes are large lectures.  I chose a small, liberal arts college for a reason.  More than 85% of my classes are smaller than 20 people and are soley discussion based.  The larger, lecture style classes that I have had were intro level classes, so once students move past that level, they are able to partake in the smaller, discussion based classes.  If I have had a professor that did not give me enough feedback on a paper, project, exam, etc., I (like most other students) have gone to my professor and met with him/her one-on-one.  Even professors that have large, lecture classes are willing to meet with students who are interested in their progress and are motivated to learn.

I think there is a common misconception about college consisting entirely of large, lecture style classes and so I just wanted to share my two cents on my experience.
