There are many things I like about my school such as the beauty of the environment and the buildings, the students and teachers, but what I consider the best thing about my school is the sizes of the classrooms. When applying for college, I choose schools that had a small amount of students, about 3500 to 5000 students, with classes that where small enough for the students to easily interact with the teacher. Personally, I feel that students interacting with their teacher is the best way to learn.

The best thing about my school would be the population. Bowie State university is the third oldest historically black university in the nation. Bowie State is known for its extensive satallite programs and prospering alumni. I personally feel that the population of this school is an important factor. Because Bowie State University is relatively small, the class sizes are also smaller. This allows students to have an interactive classroom experience with the professor. If a student needs to ask a question, the professor will most likely call on the student my name. this create comfort and a sense of belonging.
