|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | It would depend on what they were trying to do. It would also depend on their current position in life and how quickly they wanted to complete their degree. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | My school is known to be an alright school for engineering. they are closely associated with Umass Lowell which is very highly regarded. |
| Program Quality | 5 | I don't feel that my school was particularly bad, but I think there is certainly room for improvement. |
| Instruction | 7 | I found most instructors to be above average. I also found that a lack of variance and choice in curriculum was a downfall. |
| How Difficult | 10 | The level of math and science necessary made the program very difficult. Also, needing to be well versed in general studies added to the difficulty. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There was not much hands on work. They did not have very many facilities for engineering. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | Most classes were offered during the day. There were a few that you could do at night, weekend, or online, but it would be almost impossible to get a degree just doing those. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | There was a nice library and computer network. There was also an excellent math tutoring center. |
| Social Life | 1 | There were no school athletics. Also, seeing as there were no dorms, it was not a very tightly knit community. |
| Placement Services | 6 | There was some focus on job placement. There was no incredible focus on it or amazing statistics regarding placement. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | I am not very associated with the alumni network. I do not receive anything from them except when they ask for donations. |
