I transferred to AU after 2 years at UMaine and received a BS in 04. I stayed for grad school and will receive a MS in 06… and hopefully a PhD in 2010. This school is great. The courses can be challenging, but the key is knowing that you get out of them what you put into them. Some students are very negative towards school, and just want the end result of obtaining a degree. They are bothered by the necessary process of working for it. I suspect those are the ones who raked AU poorly (and Alabama fans). Don't go by these ratings, visit AU and see for yourself.
