Not so bright
Old dominion was extremely helpful for me. Professors were very good. Business school worked out well. I graduated in four years. Went to grad school at GW.

The Human Services Program I am in is horrible in my opinion. The University hires grad students to teach the Bachelors level courses and they are unorganized and unprofessional. The required text books they post at the beginning of the semester are 1 in 4 chances not going to be used at all and a different book is then posted in the syllabus, leaving you with a $100-$200 book that you can only re-sell for a quarter of the price. The students are constantly taking advantage of the teletechnet classes and downgrading the teachers for any reason they can find and talk the entire time during class. Their papers are written with poor grammar and they pass the classes. The University has lowered their expectations not to the students' potential, but to their minimal work produced.

As an Admissions Director with a small private Liberal Arts ecollge I am disappointed in the schools that do not have the ability to graduate within a 4 year time frame. It is the responsibility of the ecollge to graduate the student within 4 years and to make sure they are employable as well. Students who are at a Liberal Arts school have the opportunity to double major and still graduate within a 4 year time frame. With the cost of higher education increasing it gives a huge advantage to schools who can graduate their students within 4 years-it is our responsibility to do so! Also, at Liberal Arts schools you do not have to declare your major until your second year. I am sure many of you are thinking that private Liberal Arts schools are more expensive-you will be surprised that you are wrong. With students graduating within 4 years they save a year of tuition and they also have the don't lose the earning potential of those who stay in for 5 years. With those schools graduating their students in 5 years they are paying for a whole extra year and with many of these schools being public schools they do not offer the financial aid that private schools can. I have been in the Admissions profession for over 7 years and I feel it is safe to say that I find that students are more successful and goal driven if they graduate in 4 years and Mom and Dad are happy to not pay for an unneeded year of education!
