Major: Biology (This Major's Salary over time)
Coming to this school I was expecting a decent education and helpful staff (my financial adviser was amazingly helpful). However, on my first day of the first semester I could tell the professors were uninterested in our actual understanding of the subject and were closed minded beyond belief. Regardless of how many hours of studying I did, no amount was enough to achieve a good grade on an exam, and most did not curve despite low exam grades. The best professor I had in my time here was a bio 115 teacher who was passionate about teaching. The staff here were also very incompetent,as I would wait almost an hour to receive information about how I can deal with a dorming issue or a stolen item issue. Some of the kitchen staff were also very rude and yell at the international students (it also happened to me at one time), or shame a student for making a mistake when getting food from the commons. Also, IIT looks for any reason to charge your account. Even though the Upass should be a one time charge, the school charges your account almost $140 each semester. As a T.A even told us once "The school only has downtown going for it, or else no one would come here."The other T.A's here (I should mention) are international students and make communication very difficult. I have had labs full of these T.A's and I could not manage to understand why I got points off or what I needed to do next time.
