I went to a small undergraduate college (SUNY-Cortland)
for my undergraduate degree and I found it very easy to get
to know my professors.  I keep in contact with many of my 
former professors and consider some (including my advisor)
to be among my closest friends.  When I was in school,
I babysat for, workedwith, and  partied with them.  My physics
professor along with my advisor attended my wedding and
I was a biology major!

I thought that the size of the college was the reason I knew
my professors until I started graduate school at NC State. 
I found that I was able to get to know my professors at a
 *big* school too.  Don't be shy- just meet with your professor.
I realized that by working hard, asking questions, and doing
well, many professors got to know me even without me 
realizing it.  :-)
