In-state tuition. Not super far from home but far enough where I won't have to visit my parents every weekend or even every month. They're decently accredited in all majors and have a huge student body.

Course Curriculum

5

It's too long. We have more credit hours than the standard major. The requirements needed to finish your degree early is almost impossible since so many classes are prerequisites. Even coming in with 60 credits.

Exams

SAT and ACT. I got credit from doing AP and dual enrollment. I didn't have to take any other university exams.

Placement

7

I think it?s like 60% or somewhere around there. But I think most students are not proactive enough to increase that. They expect to have offers immediately as if we are a top-notch school like ivy leagues.

Internship

They have connections and know about postings but can not give internships. They do have work study which is a set of jobs that financial aid students get preferences. They have research opportunities.

Events

7

Lots of events. Lots of diversity and celebrations for everything. They're all public and free so everyone can become more aware and educated on a different culture or religion that exists in the world.

Fees

Lots of other charges since there are so many other offered services like an on-campus shuttle and gym.

Scholarship

I just get financial aid from the government and state scholarships. Not much effort on my end of the stick.

Examination Structure

It varies but most of mine are paper, long response. Show your work. Type questions. Of course, I'm engineering so anything else isn't satisfied with our department. Some do online. Some do multiple choice.

Faculty

7

They have a lot to manage, we are a big school so I don't know them personally. I probably won't in my time. I'm sure they're nice and care and are human.

Hostel

4

I always got a suite or apartment style. So I was lucky and had a private bedroom and at most shared a bathroom with one person. On campus is of course very very especially when you're a freshman or first year.
