I'm assuming many people are in freshers week and others will be starting next week including introductions to your course. I was surprised at how few people are on my course, although not everyone turned up. There's 15-20 on my course and about 35-40 on another course with which our first year is completely shared ! my mum did history (at a bigger uni I think) and said there were nearly 100 on her course, although that could have been during lectures shared with other courses, in which case, on my geology topics, there should be over 100 of us. ??????????
