The degree holds merit and will probably look nice on resumes though. Also, the abundance of research opportunities in fields related to Medical Biology made it great being so close to the the University hospital. The night life is fun but people can get out of control. Coming from someone who works at a bar, there are too many people that go around looking for fights at night. That aspect gets old fast. Also, the police are not very helpful unless there is a fight, drinking and driving, or drugs involved. Theft is rampant. Faculty Accessibility: A, Collaboration/Competitive: C- Have a Question?

Like other Big 10 schools, what you get out of it about what you put into it. It is a picturesque, compact campus, kind of isolated from major metropolitan areas. As a busines major, I had professors who helped with my coursework and my career choices. People are extremely nice.

Graduate school prepared me for a career in Geography. Computer programming was an essential skill to learn for GIS. While GIS appears extremely important to a career, you are better off getting a broad geography background then working 1-2 years at the analyst/tech level and moving on to graduate school after that. At graduate school I got into the higher levels of information science and learned to deal with project management. I published, presented, and established my skills in a way that moved me directly into a job with decent pay and a high satisfaction level. I could easily go after a PhD at this point, but it is not necessary for the field. Starting Job: AmeriCorps, Preparedness: A, Reputation: B Have a Question?
