If you like football this is the university for you… If you care about art or literature, or anything possibly intellectual this is NOT the university for you. I feel that the academic programs are largely over-rated. The Business school is good but even that is over-rated. However it is where you will find some of the smarter people on campus, but usually they are also the more boring people.

Personal attention is very hard to get here. Professors will not notice if you miss class, and if for some reason they do, they are often to busy to have time to care. If you like the feeling of small classes, and if you want to relationships with your professors and classmates this will be a hard university to adjust to.

Also, if you're hoping that the top 10% rule will help weed out idiots, don't count on it. There's plenty of them. I must say though that there are many very smart students who barely missed getting into top-tier schools like U-Penn, Harvard and Columbia, and even some who did get into these schools and just couldn't afford it.
