2 main reasons why I really regret pickingQuite Bright
2 main reasons why I really regret picking this school.
1. A large percentage of students are unmotivated. They simply don't care about school. Then you get put in a group project with them. Who ends up doing the work? The few motivated students have to carry the others on their backs, because they neither work hard nor show any intelligence. 2. Class registration is hell. Classes fill up instantly, and if you don't get that one class you need for your major, then tough luck: you're graduating a semester late. The advising office couldn't care less about you and your classes. THEY DON'T CARE.

Question
It can be quiteBright
It can be quite hard to find people you like. One can feel isolated if they don't want to join the frats, or the bar scene, or go to sports events. Some cool people but they are frankly few and far between.
