DO NOT GO HERE FOR THE CEE GRADUATE PROGRAM. I was a graduate student here and had an absolutely horrid time.

No help on choosing the right courses. but of course, don't blame anybody here cuz the courses offered are stupid as hell. No depth, just skimming over the surface of engineering concepts. Sustainability is a farce.

You walk into the department and you'll find a bunch of immature international students boasting about their drinking escapades. No focus among the students. Only interested in talking extra loudly to put others down.

Look up a list of alumni and you'll only find failures. Why? Obviously cuz alums aren't willing to give back. I did not get any sort of help in my career search. The department's professors are only interested in prioritizing the "cool kids", ignore the more sincere and hard-working ones.

Don't even get me started on research. It doesn't exist. Simple.

I tried to get a research position. Profs were dead against a Masters student even getting involved in their research. I got catapulted between 5 professors who kept "referring" me to another one.

Overall, my grad program was a SHAM. No good courses, no good research. Extremely unhelpful student body.
