My advice to highschool students interested in "Mechanical Engineering" is stay away from the department right now. Underfunded. Not proper Chemistry, Math, Engineering staff lots of TA/ student teachers filling in. Tutors are older students who remembered when classes were passable not much help for engineering classes. No wonder my Chem class had avg test grades of 51-65 for the past 3 exams! And it gets even better!!! Scientific Programming had ONE student remaining out of 16 starting. Sad, powerpoints don't teach the logic of coding MATLAB, OH WELL. Differential Equations was a crapshoot that just bottlenecked a bunch of other engineering students too. Forget about the small class size concept, I would rather have larger classes with people that knew HOW TO TEACH. This new CBU is nothing the old reviews said about. Last year this was a terrific school, this year it's just transfer time. Mr.Shiue very helpful, rest of dept however not up to standards.This isn't even ranting about the Bomb threats this year at CBU, the shooting in the OFFCAMPUS student housing areas last year, and the broken bathrooms.

Student Life ruins this school. This school would be a great place to attend if different staff members ran it.

The school is great! Very challenging and definitely prepares you for post-graduate life. The main problem with the school is that it is so small. Most social activities feel limited to the "sororities" and "fraternities". The sororities and fraternities are a joke. Most of the members wouldn't gain membership at larger universities. SAE is legit though. Other than limited social activities, I loved CBU and everything it has done for me and my future.
Education Quality: A+, Social Life: F
