College Review What is your overall opinion of this school? It's a pretty big school, esp when your a freshman and since the dorm areas are pretty spread out it'll feel really big. But only at first,as semesters go by you''ll be able to find your niche and it'll actually end up feeling smaller than you think. There really isnt much school pride either, people only go to games to get wasted, because honestly, the football team sucks, the best part is tailgate, no one even goes to the games. Hockey is the most popular and their actually pretty decent. But expect thousands of drunk kids when you get there. 83 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. What are the academics like at your school? All the gen ed classes, no ones going to know you. Sometimes you'll end up finding someone you know in that class weeks later. The only interaction in class is during discussion and thats only with the T.A. The only time the professor will know your name is when your a suck up sitting in the front row asking a million questions. But if you go to office hours and make the effort they'll end up knowing who you are. The more classes you take for your major, the more smaller and interactive they get. This could be a good or bad thing, depending on your preference. 795 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. Describe the students at your school. For the most part, its def pretty diverse. But based on where you live on campus, it can get pretty tough. There are def stereotypes for who lives where, for on campus at least. 223 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed. What are the most popular student activities/groups? Many start going out thursday night till saturday. But you can always spot the wasto around campus on any given day. You'll just find 10 times as many from thurs till saturday/sunday morning. There aren't many popular clubs or anything only a few known ones. Frats and sorities are mainly there to supply their house for parties, in my opinion anyway. The sororites are really cliquey (most), and think there too good for you. The frats just always want to get wasted, and most are sleezy. 131 Likes Like This Answer Already Liked This Answer Thank you, this item will be reviewed.
