I have read a lot of complaints about tech schools from people majoring in business/management, humanities, social sciences, arts, and even sciences and engineering.

Here's my advice to ANYONE considering a tech school:

1. Do not expect a big party scene. Tech schools are NOT THE PLACE FOR PARTIES. You're here to study most of the time because science and engineering degrees are some of the most challenging degrees to obtain. You want parties, GO TO A STATE COLLEGE OR BIG UNIVERSITY.

2. Most students at tech schools are nerds. Get over it. And stop complaining about the girls at tech schools. I'm a girl at a tech school, and I am not ugly or androgynous in any way. I am very offended by these comments about girls at tech schools. You want more girls at tech schools, why don't you show some more respect b******s! They are here for the same reason as you males. They are here for a quality education. If you want bimbo girls, GO TO A STATE COLLEGE OR BIG UNIVERSITY.

3. It's called a TECH school for a reason. The strongest programs are going to be engineering, computers, and electronic arts. Sciences are usually decent, but everything else is not going be as top notch as it would be at a liberal arts college. If you're looking for a quality education in humanities, social sciences, etc, GO TO LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE.

4. Tech schools are not very flexible for indecisive students. If you don't know what you want to do, DON'T GO TO A TECH SCHOOL.

5. Academics are challenging. Welcome to technical/science degrees. Get over it. If you can't handle it, you're in the wrong school.

6. Social life is what you make of it. Get up and talk to people. Try new things. Actively seek activities. If you sit in your dorm all day, that explains your misery.

I realize I'm being very audacious in my advice, but it's the truth. Visit schools, read as much as you can, and talk to students before consenting to attend any school. All this misery can be prevented if you do your research.

Well Thank you very much for the blatant reply to the whinnies. I am considering this school as well as an international student. Hopefully I will get the admission and of course visa issues will be resolved.As far as social life is concerned, I am not sure what other people want?. You have fellow students in your program, talk to them in order to get social. If you want party, then I think college is not a best place to party.

Thanks for the advice. I'm from Mexico and I want to study my master there but really I have read terrible coments about it.

Have a nice day!!
