I recommend NOT coming to this school if you have any intention of playing online games in your free time and are going to live on campus. The faculty is... mostly great, although there is a high percentage of Teaching Assistants who do not speak English with an understandable accent (I ask them a question. They make a mumbling noise). The campus life is great, but if you play online games, the Network IT people have installed a package shaper on the network, so that at peak hours (any time when many students living on campus are not in class or asleep or out socializing) online games become unplayable due to latency issues. If you're going to commute to the campus, or don't play online games, ignore this negative review, but if you intend to live here on campus, and intend to play online games while here, this is definitely not the campus network for you. Get an apartment, or don't come, but if you really want to play online games while in college, it isn't worth the money for room and board, with what you get.
Useful Schoolwork: A+, Individual Value: C+

Make sure you know what you want to do for sure, otherwise you will end up with a huge debt by staying at the school switching to any of the limited majors they have.

However here's the lowdown...
Pro's:

Beautiful skyline
Lots of boys to choose from (if you are a girl)
Proximity to NYC
Small Classes
Decent engineering
Co-Op program
Financial Aid
Negative's:

Professors (a good number) don't speak English.
Small and disgusting dorms.
Few girls (if you are a guy)
No sense of college spirit
No football team
Brutal winters (beware if you are not used to snow and wind x100)
Not a whole lot of majors to choose from
Costly
No sense of social life...
So if you can put up 4+ years with the above negatives, good. On the other hand, if you are the kind of person that likes a big college with a football team, be warned.

It's costly and it killed my social life for 2+ years. :(However these are my own experiences, yours might be different...
Individual Value: B-, Faculty Accessibility: F
