Do not come here as a transfer student in engineering. You will be nearly completely excluded from internship and scholarship opportunities because of the 'Foundational' tag that you will be stuck with for 1-2 semesters regardless of your previous accomplishments. Also, there are some decent-ish scholarships for transfer students, but they don't look quite as good when you take into account that engineering students pay an extra $1250 PER SEMESTER more than every other student here. Also, plan on a minimum $1200 per semester for REQUIRED books and online content. Whereas there are plenty of other schools out there where you can get bye just fine on used books for $250 a semester.

Also, the online homework systems are buggy beyond belief and the sheer volume of busy work that contributes nothing to understanding the subject matter here place is off-the-charts.

Bottom line: If you have rich parents, and just want to look at some hotties, this is the place for you. Anyone else - transfer students especially - keep looking.

responseI have a cousin who is a transfer student and works as a TA for the Cross Country Coach. If you want I can help you here at tech. It's not that bad.
