Major: Art & Design Department (This Major's Salary over time)
Getting accepted was the easy part. It was registering that was a joke. I was told to take whatever I needed to to get in because all the classes were full. First, when that magic fairy appears to pay my loans off, then I will take a bunch of stuff I don't need. Next, my classes were shuffled to get me in things that counted for the major. Then I had a rude and condescending professor kick me out of class because I had missed the first day from the previous shuffle. His comment as I was leaving class to his remaining students was It was the sharpest knife I ever felt and it almost cost me my financlial aid and college career. In emergency, I was put in a different class that will count but its so far from my major it's unreal. Now I have the dean of my department sending me emails asking why I haven't taken a pre-requesite. It's been a terrible experience. Don't count on being an individual at this college. You are a number and a name…period. With 27,000 students how could it be any other way? As long as you pay the bill that's all that matters. BUT the money grubbing is pathetic. They even put their football games on pay per view. Yeah you can get student tickets but your $300 parking space is no good so be prepared to pay another \(40 to park. One way or the other they will get the \) out of you. As for the professor? Im currently searching other locations to complete the one class I needed from him. I WILL NEVER sign up for any of his art classes and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't care. I will say one positive thing in my negative review. The arts program has one good thing going for it and that's Norman Magden. This man is a diamond in the pit of dirt. He is the only one that has kept me from not bolting right out the door…which I'm still considering.
