I went to a large school (Univerosty of Cincinnati). I chose not to attend the full school graduation, where they basically said "College of Engineering, Please rise" and everyone clapped for the graduates. Instead, I went to the smaller ceremony just for the College of Arts and Science, where they called individual names and everyone walked across the stage. I may have missed out on the big speaker (don't recall who it was) at the "Main grduation" but would rather have been with the smaller group. (They were on different days, I could have done both).
