about 350 with all the people that failed from the previous term

350 is not bad. I hear Ross has around 450 including retakers of previous semesters. Ross classes are huge!!

Do you know the % of people that fail first semester?

maybe 10-20% fail or drop classes before failing. (actually I don't think you can drop classes anymore so that number should get smaller.)

I'm in first term right now and our class is about 400. There are about 360 here now and 30-40 students in England doing a special program, but they are still part of our class and will integrate with us next term.

However, class size is not a problem. U'll only see everyone together during lectures (and the hall has enough seating). Everthing else is done in much smaller groups. Clinical skills and biochem groups are about 8/group, histology is 10-14 per group etc.

i thought the UK program was for a year not just a term? I have heard chancellor M say the goal is 450 per term.
