Positive Negative Neutral Advice
The professors and advisors in the Department ofBrightComputer Engineering
The professors and advisors in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) are quite inflexible when it comes to deadlines and assignments. I've seen much of the material (or something like it) in community college classes, but the quantity of homework we have to work through is absurd. In fact, I hate to say it, but one of the main reasons why I'm still here is because of the university's reputation (#4 in computer science/engineering according US News & World Report) as well as the fact that I can get a reasonably good job after I graduate as a result of that reputation. Otherwise, I probably would have transferred out of here and into some little-known liberal arts school a long time ago. (By the way, as for the person complaining about this school saying things against their religion, what did you expect coming to a PUBLIC institution, anyway. And, by the way, get a life.) :P

Question
Overall, I have enjoyedBrightMath
Overall, I have enjoyed my college experience. There have been many times when the school work was much harder than I expected, but I've never regretted the time I spent on it. I'm also very greatful for coming to this university, because this is where I met my husband.

Question
Lot's of propaganda.Quite BrightPsychology
Lot's of propaganda. Lot's of anti-Christian, anti-morality, anti-family, anti-traditional values, and related sentiments. Active misuse of my tuition money, offenses against my religion, and infringements of my rights through free distribution of contraceptives and abortion drugs. Homosexuality is placed on a pedistal. Rampant alcohol/drug abuse as well as sexual assault, rape, pornography, masturbation, and fornication. Big lectures with little contact with professors. Lot's of T.A.'s.
