| Would Recommend? | yes | I believe you get a better education for your money at CBU. Employers like to hear you are from CBU versus the University of Memphis. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | CBU is a private college and is well known in the south. A degree from there is better than one from the University of Memphis. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The classes were small and I got a lot of one-on-one learning. The people really try to help you succeed. |
| Instruction | 8 | I learned a lot in school, but working in the real world was a little different. Accounting is the same, but I don't think I was prepared for how tough managers would be. |
| How Difficult | 7 | It was a little difficult but I graduated with honors. I was in the accelerated program so we had to learn and move fast which made it difficult. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There was a little hands on work, but not as much as I would have liked. We performed a couple of simulations for a business. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | I was able to schedule all of my classes as needed every semester. I had no problems with their availability. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | All of my resources were great. The library and computer lab had late hours. Teachers gave us their numbers to call if we had problems with something. |
| Social Life | 6 | I guess it was okay. I never participated in anything but there were plenty of announcements around campus. |
| Placement Services | 4 | Their career center was not much help. Their availability was low when I tried to use it. I had better luck applying for jobs online. |
| Alumni Network | 6 | I get emails all the time from the Alumni about different events going on. They also send out a quarterly newsletter showing how certain students have excelled in their careers. |
