If you don't wantSuper BrilliantAerospace Engineering
If you don't want an education and would like to just have your parents pay for partying, don't go here.But if you are interested in learning some marketable skills and engineering knowledge, this is a good school. There is also a good social life if you look for it in the right places.

Question
I came in as a comp.Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I came in as a comp. sci. major and quickly decided that it wasn't my cup of tea. I switched into the management dept., which seems to be mediocre. I am transferring this fall to a better business school. With that said, the engineering program is top notch and while the computer science program is overrated, it is still good. Most of the professors I've had are very knowledgable and very friendly and willing to help, too.

The social life is miserable . The only saving grace is if you join a frat, but if that's not your thing you're quickly going to get frustrated. A lot of students here aren't friendly at all and few are proud to go here. Very clique-y. Most just gripe about the school. However, if you like magic cards, role playing games, and wearing capes (I'm not kidding), by all means go here. You'll fit right in.
