Avoid this place-specifically the physics department. I would go so far as to say, if you did not get in anywhere else, wait a year and try again. I felt psychologically abused by professors who show no respect for student needs or student rights. Very little emphasis is placed on learning. Lectures are a waste of time and the large homework load cannot be completed honestly because there is not enough time or resources available. I felt like a dog who has never been trained but who is punished anyway for not knowing how to perform the master's tricks. Shylnov and Sullivan were horrible to me. If you have no choice but to be here, try to avoid them. It's hard because there are not many faculty that teach the core curriculum. Segre and Zasadzinski were whatever. Coffey and Snopok were good to me. The chair, Bunker, is amiable, but he does not make any changes to how things are done, so it is good to understand going into it that you have no agency here. If you must be here then you will have to take the abuse. Therapy can help later on to recover…good luck.
