“Went to SB and was on a varsity team.Super BrilliantHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
Went to SB and was on a varsity team. Here's the honest truth:
BIGGEST PLUSSES: big campus, great reputation, great price, great selection of majors.
BIGGEST MINUSES: need more off campus housing that is in proximity; need more late night social life; need kids to stay on campus for wkds; need more school spirit; need to do more campus recruiting and career guidance. They need to start building tradition and having school events that kids care about.
AVERAGE: most facilities are average. The food was better than most public universities. Dorms adequate, improving. All this talk about class size is understandable at a U with 25k kids, however, i NEVER had a class with more than 80 students.The most important achievement to report over the last 10 years is how much better the campus looks- and also- how much money has been pumped into athletics and how much better its done for the U. Also important are all the new facilities that have been built recently.

This school and the medical school and the medical center needs to get bankrupt and close down.

Horrible, terrible, demonic school! If I had the power to close down the school and it's affiliated hospital, I certainly would have already done so! DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!
