Whether your classes are lecture-based or discussion-based is entirely specific to the course itself and what university you attend. In my experience most of my lower level gen ed. courses were lecture based as I went to a large university and there were around 300 students in one single lecture hall. However, these larger lecture based classes were usually accompanied by a small discussion section (also called a recitation) for one hour once a week to help people grasp the material and have more one-on-one instruction that is not always available in large lecture settings.
Once I started taking classes specific to major in my last two years at university I saw that my class sizes decreased and more of the courses were discussion based. I really enjoyed these types of classes because I was able to form good relationships with my professors and peers through conversation.
Every school and course is different though so you will most likely experience both types of classes throughout your educational career! I hope this was helpful.

Hi Karoline!
It really depends. Most First & Second year required classes are usually lecture-based because the classes are bigger and there are way too many students to have a discussion-based class.
Third to Fourth year classes usually have more discussion based classes though. At my school, we called them seminar courses & they were pretty interesting courses.
As Cameren said, most schools are different but one thing remains: your classes will decrease as you level up in the institution & you'll have more opportunities to hold dialogues with your professors, it's all just a matter of time.
