The sport facilities were large and well equipped but you can't study architecture for 5 years in a dull and isolated enviroment.

I felt like I was in an electrical engineering student factory. In general I felt the program was all theory, and I expected more hands-on work as part of the curriculum. I noticed the professors were generally more concerned with their research than helping their students understand the curriculum. I found office hours were often scant and it was a competition almost even getting time with harried professors who really weren't interested in helping you. I also noticed major curriculum changes were made with the attitude that it was the student's responsibility to somehow compensate. For example, the first two years of my courses were taught using Mathematica. Then I came back from co-op and all of a sudden Mathematica disappeared...replaced by Matlab. The courses all assumed the students understood Matlab. The university offered one nighttime tutoring session per week that you had to go to if you didn't magically understand Matlab immediately. I can think of two professors I had in the Electrical Department that I didn't detest. These were challenging but fair professors. The rest of the professors I liked were outside of the department, which should say something. Perceived Campus Safety: A, Individual Value: F Have a Question?
