Would Recommend?yesFor people who are into college sports and parties and can handle a large environment, this school will be very good for you.
Program Reputation5It isn't known for merchandising. They only pass the best students.
Program Quality8They have great professors. It is in a great area near the city.
Instruction9They knew what they were talking about. I liked the very experienced one on one teaching style.
How Difficult9I didn't know anything coming into the program, so it was hard learning everything at once. It was worth the challenge.
Hands-On vs. BookishEverything I did was hands on. Labs are the best.
Schedule Flexibility9They offer many options. I never took advantage of them, though.
Academic Facilities8Great environment to work in. High tech equipment is available.
Social Life8Lots of sports and clubs available. I wasn't really into any of it.
Placement Services6Many of my friends found jobs through the career service office. They weren't much of a help to me.
Alumni Network4We never really heard from the alumni. I haven't been back since I graduated.
