You know, I hadn't thought about it this way, but
honestly you could argue the lack of detail about the
rest of the people as evidence that it's pretty big. 
I went to a *very* small college (around 400 students)
and trust me, you knew everyone and *saw* everyone on
a daily basis.  Whereas now that I'm at a larger law
school, I see only a very few people I know and the
rest are relegated to faceless masses.  So telling my
story at the small school would be full of references
to lots and lots of people, because I knew and saw
them all frequently, whereas you'd think my law school
was smaller b/c my stories of it include only a half
dozen or so people and three professors.

Anyway, just a random thought. :)
