Same here: Proud GNU/Linux/BSD user since the mid 90's. No, FOSS hasn't won. The current state just confirms that the ides those days, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for e.g., are still valid and fighting.

If you're looking for a lot of individual time and supervision, no, a big school is not the place to go.

But if you're looking for great resources and opportunities, then a big school is far superiour.

Well said. I teach in an european University of Applied Sciences where the size of a class is guranteed to be between 15 and 32. And that makes a difference!

The down side is, the bachelors has become something you go buying. As a result you get some 25% of students who shouldn't be there. I'm talking about the first year, where failure rates are around 40%.
