"I wasn't very satisfied which is why I chose not to continue on to my BA. I would not go back again if I had the choice."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | My career is very specific and I don't believe any school really teach what only learning by doing can achieve. If you want to be in a normal desk job than maybe this is the school for you. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | The school is a State school with little difficulty to get in. I cant imagine any of the programs being overly comprehensive. |
| Program Quality | 5 | I didn't do very well in school and was more excited to get working than to study. I prefer to learn by doing, however the school was fine...it was me that needed something different. |
| Instruction | 5 | I felt at times I was just as qualified as many of my teachers to instruct the class. I need to be challenged and most times I wasn't. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I don't even remember most of what was taught and required. At no point did I feel overly pressured to complete a task, and my grades remained good. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I felt this school was very text book oriented. This was disappointing to me because, as I stated earlier, I learn by doing. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | There were a few occasions of wanting specific courses that I wasn't able to take due to scheduling. In the late 90's there weren't many online offerings either. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | The facilities were great. The campus itself was beautiful and everything was in a short walking distance. Everything and everyone was easily accessible. |
| Social Life | 9 | The social aspects of this school are the main reason people attend. Fraternal organizations are many, and the school itself is very involved in community events and volunteer service. |
| Placement Services | 2 | I had no assistance with job placement. To the defense of the school, I didn't ask for any help either, so I don't know if one exists. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | I do not take part in any Alumni events or online updates. I honestly don't know anything about that network. |
