" The campus is extremelly small, the classes are well managed, but I felt that the university itself does not teach students professionalism, therefore it felt like I was surrounded by a bunch of 12 year olds who don't take criticism well and think that their opinion matters the most. "

" I learned a lot and there's plenty of great teachers/classes but I felt it was not worth the tuition, which they have been raising a lot each year without adding more values to the curriculum.
There's not enough information for international students about OPT and further visa-related issues even though the majority of students are international students.
The school didn't give us any idea how to be a freelancer even though a lot of people I graduated with ended up becoming freelancers. A lot of them struggled to figure out how much they should ask for and how they should approach when they want to do freelance gigs.
A lot of issues with faculty members with racist comments/sexual harassment and some student's cases, but I still don't see any solution to the problem(nor any effort to improve). My partner(who went to the same school) is Latino and he had been followed by a security guy for the whole four years(every day! FOUR years!) because he looks 'suspicious' apparently, while we have been attending this school. "

" Program was intense but had an overall good experience. Be prepared to spend a lot of sleepless nights working on projects. My major was pretty small, so you get to really know your peers, and become a little family. "
