It was bad.Quite BrightComputer Science
It was bad. I could only stay a year. The teachers are not the best. I had about 2 good ones and the rest just want to break you. I think they let people in to take their money and then make you change or leave. I couldn't get a Co-op for my life and the school just needs a major overhaul in everything. Only go for medical or engineering.

People only care about basketball when the team wins and thats the only sport.
Rampant drug use and drinking (mostly underage).
Food is horrible and the dorm quality is also.They get grants to put up dragon statues, but they cant fix a heater.

Question
Student life is laughable.BrightComputer Science
Student life is laughable. Dorms are a joke and falling apart. They'd rather build new ones than repair the existing ones.

Financial aid screws you over a lot. They're a huge joke. You call and get put on hold forever, you e-mail them and they never respond. You go there in person and someone (who by the tone of their voice and the way they greet you) obviously hates their job and can't even smile at you. then you are told 'oh, we got your e-mail and your phonecall, we just didn't confirm to you. we have you on the list to be looked at. is that all?'

Classes are a joke. Two years through and I've learned more about computer science by simply breaking computers apart with my own two hands. You don't get taught by professors. They hand you busy work, you do it, and then a TA (who sometimes can't even speak English) grades you and takes points off if they don't like how you did something.Simply put: Save yourself the trouble, don't attend this school.
