Oh geez. It's really hard to find a college with what you want. It took forever for me to decide that I wanted to go to WVU, West Virginia University. It's a good college. It's a huge college so far though and if you don't think you can handle a large college first off I'd look for small side college. I did that. You have to make sure though that if you do carry onto a larger college after that your credits transfer. If you don't then you're a little out of luck.
I do like my college though. The people you meet are amazing and sometimes you can make wonderful friends while here. In the end though it's all up to you.

I'm a pretty indecisive person at time. Do you think there are big benefits to a bigger or smaller college? or is it just what feels more comfortable?

Well, in smaller schools you'll get more attention. There are smaller classes so the teachers have more time to spend with you if you need help. The larger colleges offer more class choices. But there are bigger classes with up to 300 or more students. So it's really if you want to get used to the college life with a smaller college or just jump in feet first to a larger one.

I too am attending WVU. I do not mind it really. The first few weeks here I hated it. I hated how big it was, I hated how far I had to travel to attend classes ( I do still hate that) and I hated how classes were sometimes rather large.
I have found though, the deeper you get into your degree level, the smaller your class sizes tend to get. So really, if you're struggling the first few years of your major you're in trouble if you don't step up and ask for help or receive tutoring of some kind.
I think it also depends on your major what college you decide to attend. Some colleges have really great programs of study for some programs and then other programs don't seem to offer their students anything excellent.
If you have a major idea in mind, I think it's best to talk to the head of that department or someone that is in that major at that college and see how they like it.
