Most of the classes are irrelvant to my major and minor; not to mention a money could take them and recieve an A. I feel that the education classes are a joke; a complete waste of my time and money. I feel like a number not like an indivudule stundent. I know most of my coharts in the off campus programs also feel this way, its very sad knowing that all of us are so upset with Ferris and they still don't listen to us. I would never recomend this university to anyone who wants to get a quality education. In fact if I was not already invested (credits and $) so deep I would transfer to CMU or MSU.

I got a job offer before I even graduated(out of State). In my year of hire 0ver 900 people applied for this position and only 32 received an offer. Part of my success was based on the reputation that Ferris Alumni have forged in the criminal justice arena. I personally loved my time at the University. Unfortunately there are some pretty lax professors. If you are a lazy student you can snake your way through the system with only a couple academically challenging classes. If you are motivated you take class that challenge you to think, learn and eventually succeed. I personally enjoyed the philosophy minor. The minor greatly improved my writing abilities. This has become very handy in police report writing. Ferris is like so many things in life, what you put in correlates to what you get out.

Like the other College I attended some instructors are better than others. Contrary to some colleges the University offers the ISYS program and Business College has many instructors with doctorates. In fact, all my instructors over the last 2 years, save 1, had achieved at least 1 doctorate and many also manage businesses of their own.

The course work is pretty lax and is often team based, to the chagrin of many students who are used to being assigned detailed instructions. While that helps build interpersonal skill sets it also allows some students to pass work off to other students, which works in your favor if your there to learn.. In my experience the lax course work is not a byproduct of laziness, but a mechanism to encourage creativity. Pretty much universally, the grading criteria on such projects includes the appropriateness and design of the projects elements.

The projects I've worked on in my last year have felt more like graduate level work as they had broad boundaries and little instruction. Instructors of capstone courses have the attitude that they are there to point students in the right direction, but not iterate basic computer language syntax and business strategies that the student should have the capability to translate to new languages or business situations.

Social life is somewhat bland in Big Rapids, although to an extent Ferris and the nearby Central Michigan University are considered party schools. In truth the there are few places to party other than the university campus... Two thirds of the Big Rapids population are affiliated with the University. Of the 19,000 people living in the area 11,000 are students. Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:53:10 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/MI/FSU_comments.html
