The schools good. The things you learn in class are helpful in understanding your field and a few others. The quality of education varies from class to class. It all depends on the teachers ability to potray the information. There are many teachers that stand out as being helpful and friendly in class. Some teachers just read slides but for the most part, most teachers will talk about the subject and discuss it.

Homework problems depend on the teacher and class. A good portion of the teachers check to see if you understand the material. The physics courses tho are not that good. Online homework is a hassle and only hampers the ability to learn. Be prepared for that. It's almost recommended that you are able to understand multiple concepts easily and to be open minded. Not being bright and not making it up by studying and trying to understand the material will affect your grade.

There are only a few classes for the M.E. that actually get you to use your creativity to finish a project. I talked to my professor about this issue and he said that the school plans on adding that to get kids to be more creative in school.

I lived at home so I didn't expirience the school's social life that much. I think the tuition can be cheaper for the education that is being recieved. It's a good education, but I don't feel as if I'm getting my moneys worth. Also, the school doesn't feel that safe a night at all. I see campus security cars at night and day, but I still feel freaked out walking through some parts of the school.
