Class sizes

[PhysicalTherapyDP]

Anybody have any input on class sizes? Is it necessarily better to attend a school with smaller (30-40) cohorts versus large (60-80) cohorts? Does anyone have any strong opinions about it? I’m open to both sizes but will have to ultimately decide between two schools, one with a large cohort and one with a small cohort.

I prefer small cohorts, more specifically I looked at faculty to student ratio more so than cohort size when deciding on a school, and find the professors have had a lot of time to spend 1 on 1 with individuals in classes they are struggling in. They are also willing to come in to help students with extra practice for hands on stuff. Downside to small cohorts is when people don't get along or negative things happens everyone knows and there are really no secrets.

Thanks for your input!
