| The school has a decent reputation. On paper, it seemed like the perfect match for S. On our visit though, I think he realized it wasn't for him. The dorm that we saw seemed very dreary and dark. We also didn't see many kids in the dorms, but we did see some outside smoking up a storm. It had the feel of a suitcase school to us but others may have a different opinion. Another thing to consider is that our tour guide answered many questions but sort of brushed over the question of "Is it difficult to get into the classes you want?" After the quick, vague, and muffled answer we got, we "read between the lines" that it's somewhat difficult to get into classes until your Junior and Senior years. The school has a good engineering department that we've heard is very demanding. I'm sure it's the right school for some, just not for S. |
