Major: Art & Design Department (This Major's Salary over time)
I wasn't impressed. I left and am still looking for a new university to go to. Every little thing is a fee and they would rather build new buildings then fix what needs fixing. The staff is money oriented and the faculty, well, most could care less. An extra book for one class was photo copied excerpts made into a large booklet…we had to pay out of pocket for these. For something like this, the department should have paid the copy center as an expense since this was their professors ego.

Although the Art Department was fantastic aside from art history being a little off balance, my minor, archaeology, was a fiasco. It was more anthropology focused (hard to explain)…not what I wanted and was not interested in most of it. That's not a good combo for someone who gets bored easily. Even worse when the professor has no experience teaching.

The CUE Program - let me make this clear - hardly exists. They get you hyped up that there will be so many like you attending and promise all this help when in fact there's only a handful of CUE students (adults) and your help is a 20 year old tutor that doesn't remember what they learned in the class. The state wants to shut down the EOS department on top of it. Without EOS, I would have gone insane instead of just bonkers.

For those boarding…you have to deal with the steam heat that is uncontrollable and WILL create mold and mildew in your room when it goes haywire. For those with asthma…be prepared.

I'm not the only full time adult student there that felt this way. A few others have left as well and more will be leaving last they told me.
