A Class of One

I'm sorry, but at the local school the class is canceled.

And Harvard is crying poverty?

.... Meanwhile, students in less sought-after majors relish their fortune. They have easy access to professors, many opportunities for independent research, and enroll in small - and at times, private - classes.

Rachel Carpentier, the only junior majoring in Sanskrit and Indian studies, has been the sole student in her Tamil language class for the past two years.

???

Maybe she can get a classmate soon, huh (or someone who will take her place)?

"I basically get private tutoring three times a week," said Carpentier, who is also majoring in music. "It's really quite remarkable how much attention my professors are willing to pay to me."

You are the ONLY ONE THERE!!!

WHO ELSE are they going to pay attention to, kiddo?

This is the ejerkashen she's getting?
