Does it matter if a university is a small one or a big one.... ?

I was thinking about this yesterday, I have applied to 5 choices and 2 of them are small Universities ( below 10,000 Student population ) and the other other's are bigger Universities ( Between 18 - 30,000 students ). Anyway, I was just curious as to whether the size of the University matters in terms of overall experience, or are bigger Universities split into Smaller areas anyway? My friend applied to university last year in London, but the Campus was in Kent. She said it was only a small campus, but she liked the closeness of all the students there, because it was smaller. What do you guys think..?

But are bigger Universities split into different campuses? If so, then it would be about the same amount of students on that campus, right?

Bigger uni = more places

But that doesn't necessarily mean more places for your subject. They may be able to do more obscure subjects, or to do combinations. If you want to do Economics but they have a place for Economics and Russian that won't help.

I was being broad in my statement!
