Keep in mind it's a very big campus; there are many people ON this campus which means it's very busy. Classes fill up quickly and core requirements are sometimes difficult to gain access too.

Some professors are willing to help but others are not approachable at all. It is often difficult to get a grasp on things when transitioning into this college.

There is also a lot of construction going on at this time so traveling around campus is difficult.

The school has good intentions, and excellent programs but you have to be ready to work hard and mostly on your own if you want to succeed here. It's expensive and not focused on individuals but if you connect with the right teachers, fellow students or TAs and have a lot of internal motivation you'll do fine.
