To be honest, Westconn's a joke school. It exists to make the students who couldn't get into a better college more "secure." I transferred here as an out-of-state student to care for one of my relatives, and the education quality isn't horrible, but the professors are definitely self-centered (so much so that it frequently interferes with their teaching) and the students are as intolerant as they would be in an Ivy league school. If you don't talk to anyone, you're labeled as an anti-social or a drug addict who distances herself from people. If you don't protest just about everything imaginable, you're labeled as stupid and no one talks to you anyway (definitely a sense of the "if you're not pissed about the smallest thing, you're stupid" mentality…it's really annoying). People at Westconn are still convinced they are in high school. Maybe they are, mentally. Not recommended unless the universe forces you to go here (i.e. your parents pawn you off here as a way to save money, no other schools will accept you, or if you are one of the kids who thought that society would save them while they were being pulled through high school).
