Chairman, I personally don't link "bigger" with "better" when it comes to university size. SBU sits at around 25,000. Compare that to University of Virginia at 21,000. If you've ever been on that campus, you would be impressed with how everything is so accessible...yet UVA has an academic reputation that SBU can only dream of at this point. Sure, there's bigger, AND there's better....but they don't necessarily go together. At some point bigness can actually diminish the student (and alumnus) experience.
