To start out positive, the academics of this school are good. However competition is cut-throat. Knowing the system is definitely the way to get good grades here. Old tests / homeworks are available for Greek Organizations, and are used extensively.

One should be ready to deal with noisy computer nerd dorms with ants / roaches in them. To that the housing staff is indifferent. One must get used to such treatment, since average graduating time is 5 years.

Social life is dull at best. People are goal oriented and want to succeed in their courses and fun is secondary. The system is such, that one becomes a number among the masses with a broken spirit. That is true for a good percentage of the people. My description of the school is forced learning and bootcamp academics.
