Important Differences Between Private and Public Colleges and Universities, and How Each Affects Students (Part 2)

#016 – We continue our conversation about the differences between private and public colleges and universities, starting with the number of students in the larger classes, and following with differences in campus culture, student support, availability of undergraduate research opportunities, number of degree programs, student diversity, perceived prestige, access to the alumni network, and the likelihood of students graduating on time.

All of these are important components of the college experience and can make a sizeable difference in the educational life and future professional career of every student.
