I really like what Nichole said about her school because I grew up in a school with a small community and I know that I made many long lasting friendships with not only my classmates, but also with my teachers and administrators. In her paper she mentioned that the classes are her school are smaller based and she can see the community being built everyday! Even thought I agree with her I don't think that the only way to have a good and close community is through small classes or schools, even though I do think it helps to have a smaller class. This goes along with college classes because many times when you are in a lecture hall typically you don't form a close relationship with your teacher like you do when you are in a class of about thirty students or so!
