But a growing number of them

50、 are attending smaller ones. Douglas Bennett, the president of Earlham College in Indiana, has written several articles aimed at helping students choose a college that best fits their needs. He says one of the important things for the international students to consider is the size of a school. He sa

It draws everyone into more different kinds of activities. Of course, there are also good arguments for attending a

52、 larger school. Many big schools are widely recognized. And in some cases that might lead to more job interviews than a degree from a lesser known college. Larger schools also have more money, which can mean more resources for education and research. In addition to size, Douglas Bennett says there a

53、re other important things to consider. For example: Which programs at the school are the strongest? Some schools have stronger programs in the sciences. Others are stronger in the liberal arts. Also, what do the schools top students go on to do after they graduate? What kinds of activities are offer

54、ed that might add to the educational experience? Are there sports teams? What about a radio station or newspaper? But Douglas Bennett says . “The most important choice you make is who you choose to be yourself. If youre prepared to bring your best self to the college, then it matters where you go to college. On the other hand, if you choose not to prepare to work very hard, it doesnt matter where you go. 56.
