There
is nothing special at this school. It's a shame because
it has potential, but it's ruined by the student body.
I feel I got a good education. The academics are
OK, but the social scene is terrible. Most people leave
on the weekends. The majority of the students are unfriendly
and obnoxious. I know it's not Hardvard, but I was
surprised by the stupidity I've witnessed here. The campus feels
like a large high school. Many of the buildings leak
during the rain. The look of the campus is inconsistent
and mostly hideous (the area around the East Lagoon is
decent). DeKalb is a cultural and environmental wasteland. It's windy
and flat. It has the problems of a big city
with a fraction of the culture. All positive aspects of
this school can be found at any deccent university. There
are muggings off-campus fairly reguarly. The teachers are pretty good
and the people at the counseling and student development center
are good. People in this town are terrible drivers and
bikers/pedestrians are regularly hit. I've almost been hit at least
a dozen times on my bike while following all traffic
laws. Moreover, this is the kind of place where people
yell “faggot” out their windows at random pedestrians. Don't go
to this school unless you're a wannabe gang-banger or aspiring
frat-boy. I would not go here again even if they
offered me a scholarship. It's pretty sad how lame this
school is, considering college is supposed to be an experience
of a lifetime. There is nothing at this school that
you won't find at Illinois State or U of I.
I'm making the best of my last year here. If
I play my cards right, I won't so much as
set foot in this town again. I don't mean to
sound ungrateful. I got some grants here and I love
my on-campus job. However, the negatives FAR outweigh the positives.
My brother told me I would probably hate this school,
and I should have listened to him.
