Keep in mind, I was there in the late 1960's: The place was too big, classes were large, professors busy (didn't get to know any professors), students weren't as bright as I had been accustomed to at my high school. A big party school. While there were many exceptions, on average, the students were not there to learn, but to play. I lived in Southwest and would not recommend it—a concrete city including four high rises of partying, loud, dumb kids. I hear Orchard Hill is better—smaller, less noise, more like a normal college.
