I finally made the decision to transfer this year. I made a bad decision in coming here. You would think by this being a large school there would be a more diverse social scene. It's not. You may as well be in the middle of nowhere because all there seems to be are house and frat parties. If that's what you're in to, you will have a great time and get a pretty decent education in the process.

Advising is absolutely horrible though, I had so much trouble simply attempting to take EE courses. I was given the run around for such a long time. No one referred me to where I could get help. I got better advising from students than the actual advisors.

This school is completely overrated, I would definitely steer clear from this place if you had other options. DO NOT go to this school because it's located in a big city, you will regret how small the school and the city seem to be.
