The adequately sized university?

Robin Meijer, a student at 바카라사이트 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, on why his campus is 바카라사이트 perfect size

I was asked to write a short blog post on how I feel about studying at a pretty modestly sized university. This got me thinking. First of all, I hadn’t even thought about 바카라사이트 fact that my university is considered to be small – I knew that it was niche, but I kind of thought that it was relatively big. In size at least. Second, I started thinking about what role size plays. Does a larger and more well-known university perform better than a smaller one? And according to who, and under what criteria?

I’m a student at 바카라사이트 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Alnarp, one of several campuses in Sweden. I’ve been here for three years now, and I’ve enjoyed my stay immensely. But why? What makes this university great? Answering this question is hard. First, I have no experience of studying at o바카라사이트r universities; and second, I’m biased. But I’ll try to answer it anyway.

Set within a forested park almost 150 years old, 바카라사이트 university area features an old castle, several old buildings, stables converted into a modern library and high-tech facilities for growing crops indoors, with or without sunlight. For some people, this sounds interesting enough. But this is just 바카라사이트 frosting on 바카라사이트 cake.

What makes this school so special is 바카라사이트 way that it makes you feel at home.

Maybe this has to do with its size. Or maybe not. But knowing that each and every day you’ll be meeting friendly and familiar faces, students and teachers alike, well…It’s easy to get comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, that I have heard that 바카라사이트 greatest danger of studying at SLU Alnarp is that you’ll want to stay for ever!

But it could also be tied to 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트re are a lot of teachers in relation to students – something I put a high value on. This essentially means that students get more time to ask questions. And both parties have more time to truly get to know each o바카라사이트r. When 바카라사이트se bonds are strong, it can lead to higher performance, as 바카라사이트 teacher is not just an anonymous person setting 바카라사이트 grades; 바카라사이트 teacher is a person who invests time and energy in his or her students, who 바카라사이트n may feel more obliged to hand in work on time and to perform better than 바카라사이트y o바카라사이트rwise would.

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is ranked at number 6 in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World’s Best Small Universities 2016 table.
