I've taken both intro and intermediate 35mm photography here at school in
the last year. Both courses required that prints be full frame. This was a
department requirement and not left up to the instructors.
Of course they were just trying to teach us to compose with the viewfinder
and not in the darkroom, and there's only so much enlarging you can do with
Tri-X at 400 before it becomes a grain festival. The 'intro' labs ( "real"
photo students - photo majors - got their own advanced darkrooms) didn't
even have four-blade easels. The ones we had were only 8x10 or 5x7.
Now I do my work at the newspaper office. The entire darkroom is
essentially mine, I have 24hour access, and I love it.
