| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | For people who are into college sports and parties and can handle a large environment, this school will be very good for you. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | It isn't known for merchandising. They only pass the best students. |
| Program Quality | 8 | They have great professors. It is in a great area near the city. |
| Instruction | 9 | They knew what they were talking about. I liked the very experienced one on one teaching style. |
| How Difficult | 9 | I didn't know anything coming into the program, so it was hard learning everything at once. It was worth the challenge. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Everything I did was hands on. Labs are the best. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | They offer many options. I never took advantage of them, though. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | Great environment to work in. High tech equipment is available. |
| Social Life | 8 | Lots of sports and clubs available. I wasn't really into any of it. |
| Placement Services | 6 | Many of my friends found jobs through the career service office. They weren't much of a help to me. |
