The school is too concerned about metrics than the students I found the faculty (except for my advisor, who was great) to be unapproachable, condescending, and unhelpful. The program and grad school is poorly designed, and bureaucratic. They were just after my money and don't really care for the students. I wish I had done more research about graduate schools. I just assumed people would be competent, but they are not. I don't know if it was this school or if all grad programs are this underfunded, amateurish, bureaucratic, political, and have lack of academic interest. I found most of the students to be independently wealthy (somehow) so the huge costs and low pay of grad school didn't effect them. I worked full time while in my PhD program and the program and the faculty (except for my advisor, he was great), and the faculty is so far removed from realty that they didn't understand the need, except none had funding to support any students. I would never repeat this program. Wish I had gone to a different school for PhD, one which actually cares about its students and just doesn't put in their marketing material.
