The problem is when you first enter this school you may think it's a friendly place because friendliness is a marketing gimmick. They make it seem great during interviews, but eventually you realize it's a school as cold as ice, and mostly those with the ability to also be cold and unaffected by the gossip, narcissism, and chaotic administration truly can thrive there. It's kind of easy to see right through some professors after a while realizing that a lot of it is psychological manipulation and fake friendliness. It's not easy to find true genuineness in this program, it exists but is very limited. If I had a realistic choice to transfer I would. I tend to not regret things, however one of my biggest regrets is not leaving this school when i was in limited debt after my first semester and starting somewhere else, because now I'm in so much debt that starting somewhere else would mean starting over and doubling my debt, so I'm stuck if I want to finish what I started and sadly used to be much more passionate about before starting at this school. There are people that love this school, and I sometimes envy their ability, because my experience here has been nothing less than a chaotic mess, and it really affected my motivation to even succeed because part of me does not want to be associated with this school and most of me just wants to run far far away. It takes a toll on your productivity feeling this way. My suggestions, if you are highly sensitive and truly empathetic (not the empathy techniques you get taught and don't come across unless you feel it) and more affected by negative environments and enter this profession because you truly care about people unconditionally and want to be helpful and want to thrive in an environment of caring professors, mostly genuine students, and a place that cares more about humanity than money then I would suggest going elsewhere, however if you are genuine and have the resilience to deal with this kind of craziness or you are the type of person who has an egotistical belief that being a Dr. makes you somehow better than others, than this school may work for you and you may end up loving it and even connecting with teachers. Unfortunately that was not the case for me, which was hard since I was very connected to professors and the field in undergrad because it was a caring environment and funny enough a heck of a lot more organized and 1/10th of the price per semester.
