I am currently a senior at a liberal arts college studying CS and I chose liberal arts because I liked the small class sizes and professor to student ratio. I also feel that liberal arts colleges force you to be a more well-rounded student. From what I have gathered from my friends that go to large universities, some of the professors never even get to know their names. No matter where you go, your education is what you make it. You can barely make grades at any school or you can excel at any school. It really depends on your motivation and what type of environment you learn best in. But, if you feel that you've made a wrong decision, you can always transfer after a year or a semester.
