| Would Recommend? | yes | They have one of the most valuable degrees in the field. They also have some of the best internship opportunities. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | It is one of the bigger schools in the country and has a pretty good reputation. However, it has a party school reputation as well. |
| Program Quality | 8 | They have a very good program that produces good graduates. The program they have in place might be one of the best in the nation. |
| Instruction | 6 | There were very good teachers in this program. However, there were many students so it was hard to get one-on-one time. |
| How Difficult | 7 | At first there was a ton of work to get you prepared. However, as you progress the work becomes more interesting and therefore easier to do. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There is a good mix between the two. Freshman classes tend to be by the book and then as you progress it gets more hands-on. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | There is a pretty good amount of flexibility between the online and night options. However, the large majority live on campus and attend normal school hours. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | Between the massive libraries and the numerous resources, they had unbelievable facilities. They also have incredible sports teams so they have great internship positions. |
| Social Life | 8 | It is a pretty amazing experience, there is more school spirit here then any other school I have ever been to. The basketball games are insane and there is always something to do. |
| Placement Services | 8 | They were very helpful with both finding a job or internship. They also stress how they can help you. |
| Alumni Network | 10 | One of the best alumni networks in the country. I have never seen so many alumni who really just want to help students. |
