She cares more about Social Life than the average student.
Date: Apr 04 2008
Major: Communications (This Major's Salary over time)
The advertising grad department is ruled by a Chairman that not too many people admire or respect (Although I didn't think she is a terrible person). She could improve on her teaching skills by a lot though.

The professors in general are unhappy and it shows. Professors do not grade based on reality - since it is advertising everything is subjective and professors grade based on their opinion. If they don't like you, then they give you lame grades. Professors will bring your grades down out of nowhere without sufficient evidence or reason on purpose only so that you go to them feeling sad and helpless…, what a waste, it is a tactic they do to make you feel bad about yourself. Why do they have to do that if it is such a good department and program? Sounds ruthless and unethical. That is why I decided not to waste my cash and time there. I realized what they were doing and it wasn't good for me.

The students in the program are two faced and deceptive. Smiling and friendly one moment and the next they are talking behind your back or making up stories to make you look bad. Yes, this is like junior high all over again. A lot of the students are envious of each other and bitter…but for what reason? Is that really educational? Is that really what you think of when it comes to advertising, a creative and fun field. Would you pay thousands of dollars for that?

Lectures are usually of poor to average quality.

Waste of money. Overrated department. Overrated, small,and unfriendly student organizations. Overrated campus - not as beautiful as people say. Most people are rude and it is practically impossible to form friends since it is so competitive.

Good luck
