No! This depends on what classes, you take, the size of the school you attend, and what level of classes you take. Generally, introductory level classes (101, etc) will be very large, especially in classes like economics, psychology, etc. The higher up with a subject you go, the smaller the classes will get.
Only? Probably not, but your choice of college and major will determine how many large lecture style classes you have. If you select a popular major at a large state university, expect more huge lecture classes than if you have a small department or attend a smaller private college. I attended two private universities and had large (over 50 people) lecture classes at each. I never had a class with over 150 students and most of my classes had between 15 and 35 students. My smallest classes were upper level classes taken my junior and senior year and had 5, 9, and 11 students. Ask on campus visits so you will know what to expect at each school.
This depends on the size of the school you are attending and the average student to teacher ratio. At large universities, many classes are held in huge lecture halls, but they also commonly have a “section” meeting where students meet in smaller groups, usually under the instruction of a graduate teaching assistant.
Some will, some won’t.
Some of your classes might be in huge lecture halls, but some schools don’t even HAVE huge lecture halls, so it really depends on the institution.
Some campuses don’t even have HUGE lecture halls. There are certain introductory courses: Psych 101, Sociology 101, Chem 101, etc that tend to lean toward a large lecture with smaller labs or discussion groups. Depending on your major course of study, you may be able to dodge the whole experience if it doesn’t fit your learning style. Most campus tours touch on this subject. There are definitely schools out there that intentionally market themselves as anything but the campus that teaches to large audiences. If it matters to you, ask the admissions folks, current students and the faculty.
