<p>And every bad side has to have a good side so if you want to hear both sides here’s my post I submitted a few days ago: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1064658738-post54.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1064658738-post54.html</a></p>
<p>As for some of the things you post, of course it’s true. There’s <em>always</em> going to be ridiculous things such as those found at any school. I think you are very, very biased as a former graduate student. Of course you will see some kids out there who are not the brightest in the bunch. You’re teaching students with ALL kinds of backgrounds and intellect. And as a teacher you should be open to help students learn, not shoot them down and generalize the entire university as a failure. You will also find geniuses at this university. Ever seen that kid who looks like he’s a 12 year old boy on a tour of our campus? Well, he’s actually a student.

<p>And yes, like someone else said, take this OP’s post with a grain of salt because you can obviously tell that many of the things said are <em>generalizations</em> made for the entire school. Out of 22,000 or more students, are you really going to make a generalization about the entire student body? Hmm… and I thought we were taught NOT to make such broad accusations. Being admitted into a university does NOT = how smart you are. Sure you can BS community service hours and cheat on tests in hs and still get into college. How well you do at the college and what kind of person you are at the end of 4 (or 5) years is really what matters.</p>
