" Large classes-- really hard to get personal attention from professors and TAs. The area is generally unsafe to walk around at night. Some professors were great and super knowledgeable, which I liked. However, the academics was extremely stressful and rigorous and it was difficult to get help with the material. "

" My Instructors have been great. Each of them is highly knowledgable and accomplished in their fields. They put a lot of work into giving thorough feedback on assignments. Also, the curriculum is very practical and focused on helping students succeed in the field, while still providing the theory necessary to learn. "

" At the end of the day, this school is really what you make of it; it's an amazing experience but you really have to advocate for yourself and your resources. You can make some really amazing friends and have some truly memorable experiences, but it is also easy to become isolated here and not keep up with the classwork. "
