Liberal arts universities have on average a larger population as well as a larger campus than a fine arts conservatory. When interviewing a teacher in the visual arts department at UNCSA that has taught both at a public high school and at a fine arts high school/ college, she said the main difference she noticed was how close she was able to get to her students in a fine arts setting. "Its hard getting to know and give one on one help in a class of fifty rather then a class of fifteen. Having a smaller class allows me to specialize my teaching for my students needs."
This is considered a "small" chemistry class at NC State
This is a typical class size at UNCSA

The schedules that the liberal arts schools have, are stricltly followed. No time is added nor taken away. This is not the same for an arts university. For the production slot, ninety percent of the time, the time frame that is given is not followed. If you are assigned to a production, depending on the rehearsal schedule of the show, it can start and end later then on the schedule. In addition to this, there are many times when you are called on the weekend to work the production you were assigned and it is mandatory. If you do not show up, your production grade will be affected. I know from experience that there was one week where I did not get out of production until 12 every night including Saturday and Sunday. This is unheard of in an liberal arts university. On the liberal arts schedule, they did not have more then three classes everyday and the latest class ends at seven. When interviewing these three individuals they all agreed that their schedules at their schools "are not as easy as most of my friends" (Make, Hope). While students attending UNCSA could only dream for a schedule as open as the previous three schedules shown.

This lead us to next point; liberal arts university usually have the freedom to pick their classes as well as their schedule. Fine arts universities do not have as much freedom in this field. At UNCSA for example, the deisgn and production students all have specific classes they have to take depending on their concentration. They only have the freedom to pick their liberal arts classes which consist of two classes a semester. At a liberal arts university, their advisor suggest what classes they should take but they do not necessarily have to take their suggestions.
In addition to this, the schedules for the liberal arts universities are not as geared towards their major as the fine arts university are. All of the previous schedules are from first years. The person interviewed that attends State is majoring in mathematics. The person interviewed at UNCG is majoring in journalism and the person at UNC is majoring in journalism. The person attending UNCSA is majoring in design and production with a concentration in stage management. For the liberal arts university, there are at least two classes in each separate schedule that are completely unrelated to their major. When asked why this was the case, the common consensus was that they picked those classes because they thought the class would be "fun and interesting to take" (Quillici, Gianna).
