They seem to beQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
They seem to be letting pretty much anyone in these days. I suggest they target out of state students more. There is a lot of untapped potential beyond the "Midwest."

Question
The only helpful thing I came away fromBusiness - Management and Administration
The only helpful thing I came away from KU, which is different than most schools, was the Co-op experience. I do not use most parts of my degree or any of the classes I took in school in my everyday job functions. I honestly can say that everything I learned, that I use in my job now, I learned at my Co-op employer. Having said that, I would NOT recommend anyone attend KU. There are more and more universities employing the Co-op education principles, and those schools will have a more fulfilling university life than can be found at Kettering.

I enjoyed my extra curricular activities (Sorority, WRC, SWE, etc.), but would like to have been able to go to a major football or basketball game. The "normal" university experience is just not available at Kettering. Neither is brand recognition. Let's just say that my resume says GMI Engineering & Management Institute on it rather than Kettering University. GMI gets a lot more nods from HR and recruiters than KU.

Question
Kettering is known withinBrightAutomotive Engineering
Kettering is known within Michigan and a few other limited areas. I was misled about its reputation. Had I realized how poor a University Kettering is, how expensive it is, how poorly known it is, and worse, I would have not gone here!!
