Its been 3—interesting years. Professors suck and the school's rep is totally blown out of proportion. The work is made to be much harder than necessary and there is serious grade deflation in most classes. Administration is often of little help. One of the worst factors is the city of Troy. I've never seen a worse place, and I've seen bad. There's absolutely nothing to do on or off campus, and the male-female ratio speaks for itself. I should have stuck to my first mind and gone to CMU, RIT, or WPI.
