"I think I received a great education which had led me onto a perfect career path. I think that being close to home also made it affordable. I was able to live at home and drive to school on a daily basis."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I personally would recommend this school to everyone. I believe that education is very important in life. It helps mold people not to learn just new things, but also about themselves. An education is not just about a career, but the ability to say, “I can finish what I start.” |
| Program Reputation | 5 | The school is not know for my career field. The main reason I chose the school was that it was very close to home and it was an affordable state school. |
| Program Quality | 6 | I think much of the required course work was not needed to complete my degree. I believe this is a way for schools to collect more money. |
| Instruction | 7 | The professors were well informed and easily approachable after hours for additional help. I think that a lot have careers outside the university which gave them more than just book smarts. |
| How Difficult | 9 | The hardest part for my education was the math. I had over 7 math classes required for my degree and the higher classes were extremely difficult. Also, programming is very time consuming. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The math part was very book oriented. The computer aspect was very hands on. Usually for every hour of class, I was in the computer lab for 3-4 hours. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | I loved the schedules. They had classes available year round. I had used summer classes to try and get ahead. They also have evening classes |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | The class room space was adequate. I used their computer labs very often. During the time I went to school I think they had decent equipment. Advisers were always there to help, as were the professors. |
| Social Life | 2 | I was busy with both school and my job. I worked full time while attending school so my social life was non existent. I never attended any school parties or sporting events. |
| Placement Services | I know they do have a placement program there. I had heard of other students doing coop training. I never used any of their services so can not comment on this 1st hand. | |
| Alumni Network | I can't say too much about the alumni. I never really got involved myself and paid attention. Usually any mail I currently get from the school goes straight into the trash. |
