Major: Finance (This Major's Salary over time)
Not worth it and most definitely overpriced. Came here because it was a "great business school". I've found many of my courses to be useless along with many professors. My Corporate Finance class was a complete reiteration of the intro. course you take your first year, not to mention the professor got fired in the middle of the semester (she was flat out lost) and then replaced with someone of basically the same caliber; I'm chalking that course up as a loss in terms of gained knowledge. OSA is the worst operation at this place and makes you wanna scream at the thought of having to go there. Financial Aid always has a problem and always needs something else from you, nothing ever gets done the first time, or second, or third…The administration overall seems to do their jobs with no sense of care or urgency. I didn't find that there was much direction either in terms of sequencing courses throughout each semester, it was more like here's what you have left pick 5! All the buildings are OUTDATED, nothing pretty to look at, the library is so depressing you don't even want to utilize the study space with NO OUTLETS (finding one is like playing the lotto) dorms are gross and only recently got wireless internet in 2011! The "fitness center" is another disappointment, which you will be utilizing being that your ridiculous overpriced meal plan better be spent because they take what you don't, so eat what you can, buy your mom detergent and paper towels, just frigging spend it on yourself so they don't do god knows what with it (they could buy a gallon of paint or some flowers!)The social aspect of it is a complete wash, huge commuter school. A majority of students don't have class on Fridays so Thursday nights everyone disappears and drives home for the weekend, so enjoy whoever decided to stay because they had to and maybe hit up the 2 bar scene. Dope. Don't waste your time.
