Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Some classes are not small at all. Forget about transfer credits. Now many transfer credits not accepted, funny considering that a public funded school should not have that option. Some classes are small, but that depends on the major itself. I am currently in one class where it is so packed we have to organize ourselves to move out of the aisle. Some teachers are really great, however there are a few that are condescending and unreasonable. The school buildings need so much maintenance. the structure of the parking garages under the campus itself is unsafe. No repairs have been made in the past 2 maybe 3 years. I have yet to see any attempt on repairs either. Money is wasted on unnecessary things such as televisions in the cafeteria. It sounds nice, however you can barely hear them or see them. It was a completely bad idea. The shuttle services are extrememly slow. In most cases they are late, driving wrecklessly, and even driving while talking on a cell phone. Overall, this university has too much autonomy. There is no regulation of those who are in control of it. Considering that it is a public funded school it should be regulated. For example transfer credits from accredited private institutions should be accepted. They should be regulated on expenses as well. All class rooms should be utilized as much as possible. I have seen many class rooms empty while others are overcrowded. By the way they have no concern for privacy. There is always a photographer who randomly takes pictures of the students while they are unaware of it. These photos are posted up on the website with no permission. Also for the open house commercials, students are video recorded on the campus and are previewed on television. Again this is without permission or awareness of the students recorded. There is a complete disregard for the students, and his or her rights. For brand new student coming from highschool this school may be good for you. For transfer students; seek alternative colleges this place will become a blackhole, you will be stuck there longer than what you really should be.

But unfortunately, they have now started to accept anyone and the school is very crowded. You feel like a number at this school. The education is good, but it is the students who do not give a damn that are at the school that make this school an unpleasant place to go. The students usually are: -self absorbed -do not know simple manners -pushy -materialistic -people often won't talk to you even if you are in the same class -distracting to others in class by talking, texting, and using chairs as footrests to the discomfort of other students who actually do want to pay attention The teachers usually: -can be kind -certain teachers do hold a lot of office hours and will give you the time of day -give good classes The campus is: -very crowded -too many students waiting in line for lunch to the point that you can wait up to 45 minutes just to eat (there goes lunch) -shuttle buses inefficiant (four busloads of kids sometimes waiting at a time after class for one bus and people get real pushy to get on the bus, leading to accidents like people tripping) -no one seems to know how to hold a door in the hallway -library very crowded The main issue is that the school is so overcrowded, and there are so many kids sometimes packed in one classroom.
