This college gave me the biggest scholarship. Most students here say that they chose this college also because of this. It tends to give students a huge scholarship package. It also has a great location, since I wanted to go to college in a sort of big city.
Course Curriculum :
This is a liberal arts college, so the art majors are all really good. The professors like their job and teaching the students important information. Other majors relating to science and maths are also really good and have a higher level of difficulty. The only major that doesn't really have a good curriculum is video game development.
Exams :
I took the SAT (the new one) and got 1130. I also had to taken the TOEFL since I'm an international student.
Placement :
There are several on-campus jobs and they're relatively easy. I've been working since my freshmen year and my experience has been great. They pay $8.00 for freshmen, $8.25 for sophomores, $8.50 for juniors and $8.75 for seniors.
Internship :
It does provide internships through the school and we also have a big internship fair. I haven't taken an internship yet. However, most students say that they have had a good experience with the school.
Events :
We have a big event called Hillfest at the start of the fall semester. There's a bunch of food trucks, bounce houses, a ferris wheel, a rock climbing wall and more. We also have a big tailgate during the spring. Everyone including the organisation set up a booth and they have a ton of free food. University programming board also does several events like silent disco, end of the year parties, and unwinding before the grind for finals.
Fees :
The fees of tuition (around $45,000) and housing can vary but it would be around $4,000 and meal plan around $1500. You will get a technology fee which is around $100. Even though overall it's very expensive, students get a big scholarship package.
Scholarship :
Yes, I have both. You get a scholarship based on merit when you get admitted to the school. Then for financial aid I had to fill out the CSS profile and I was awarded more money.
Examination Structure :
The exams vary. Some are multiple-choice, short answers and essays. Others are simply online. Most of the exams are in person and are a combination of multiple-choice, short answers and an essay. Those that are online are usually multiple-choice only through Cengage learning.
Faculty :
Most of the faculty here are all really nice. Since the classes are small they get to know you by a first name basis. You get to be close to them and develop friendships.
Hostel :
I have lived on campus for two years. I first lived in the dorms and now I live in the on campus apartments. The residence halls have an overall good quality. Maintenance requests don't take a long time to get fixed. However, the washers and dryers (and the overall laundry room) can be a hassle because there aren't enough of them.
