Avoid
this college and this city at all costs unless you're
a bio-medical/bio-engineering major who doesn't mind a non-existent social life.
The educational standards of the college are quite low
and the city is a miserable place. Professors range
from friendly and helpful to aloof and arrogant. They
are one of the better elements of the university, because
most of them lean toward the former side, but they're
trying to hold together a sinking ship. Bickering and
fighting between the departments is common; so is abuse of
various departments by the university. Most funding money is
channeled into research in a few specific areas (bio-tech and
bio-medical) at the expense of all other departments. The
students here are broken-spirited, constantly living in fear of how
they're going to find a job after graduating from such
a piss-poor university. Furthermore, the curriculum here is set
up to coincide directly with that of the local community
colleges, thus, it is condescending and ridiculous. You're loaded
down with an obscene number of basics courses and stopping
blocks before you can take any advanced courses that may
be of interest to you. The social scene here, and
in the city as a whole, is awful. In
short: If you are not a native or a
barfly, you have no chance of having a social life.
In extended form: The students are very consistently
apathetic in regards to meeting new people, and all live
in their cliques of very few people and never venture
out, and show intense paranoia when dealing with outsiders at
anything beyond a casual (chatting for a few minutes outside
of class about the material) level. God help you
if you want to have a social life and don't
want to put in the leg-work of going to the
bar and getting drunk 4-5 days per week. It's
not going to happen. The city has a number of
bars and clubs, but no 'entertainment' scene beyond that unless
you're a sports person. There is no significant arts
scene, music scene (independent or mainstream), good locations to hike,
or anything else of interest. There is nothing to
do but drink. The fractured social network within the
university extends out into the city as a whole; there
is no sense of community here, just individuals living with
a perpetual sense of isolation. If your hobbies consist of
drinking alone, waiting for death to come and ease your
boredom, and making an art-form out of mediocrity, this university
and this city are for you. If this doesn't
appeal to you then, please, pick another college and another
city and save yourself some misery.
