| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | I received an excellent education, but poor career advice. I love my job, but my school did not prepare me for it. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | My institution has a wonderful reputation. I am not aware of any major or program that is not known to be excellent. |
| Program Quality | 10 | I was constantly intellectually stimulated. My professors were excellent. Zero complaints. |
| Instruction | 8 | Excellent instruction was provided. A little was left to be desired in terms of career preparation. |
| How Difficult | 10 | I had to work very hard in school. The courses were fast paced and very demanding in terms of work, time, and dedication. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I took very few courses that were hands on. The focus was absolutely on read material. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | Summer course offerings were excellent. Online and weekend courses were basically nonexistent. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | There were more libraries than I could ever use. Excellent access to professors, but poor tutoring opportunities existed. |
| Social Life | 10 | There was something for everyone. The Greek scene was highly influential, but very welcoming and flexible. |
| Placement Services | I don't believe career placement services exist. If they do, I did not use them. | |
