Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This college is not intended for those who are not willing to work towards their goal. The phrase, "You reap what you sow" really does apply here. Most of the professors will help you achieve your goal, but to get above is 3.5 GPA is a true accomplishment here. The bright side is that after this, anything else in life will seem fairly easy.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
If you plan on spending your free time on the computer playing video games or reading in your room, this college has the perfect dorms to live in. The floors are divided up by the social activity of the residents, so some floors will be more social than others. The dorm rooms themselves are fairly small, and the bathrooms are shared by the entire floor. Occasionally the elevators will break, which is a problem if you live above the 4th floor. Otherwise, living on a floor of engineers is beneficial, as anything that gets broken can probably be fixed by someone on your floor.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
If you want a lot of sub-par food for one meal swipe, the cafeteria is a good place to go. The grill in the cafeteria does have its benefits, and the guy working there makes the burgers taste appetizing. If you want a small amount of good tasting food for one meal swipe, go to Skylight or Roscoe's. Those food places also take meal dollars and have pretty good food. The hours for Roscoe's constantly change, but can be really good when you're up late working on a paper. There's not a lot of cheap restaurants surrounding the campus, but there is a Panera Bread, Chipotle, Jimmy Johns, Zoup, and several other restaurants nearby. Also, Vagabond has 2 dollar taco Tuesdays and Thursdays
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The hockey games during the winter quarter are really fun to go to. However, on most weekends there isn't a lot to do on campus unless an organization plans something. It helps if you play video games or watch Netflix in your free time, because when you do have free time, you'll probably be doing that.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The organizations and Greek life on campus all paint this small rock on campus at any time during the year, and sometimes the rock will be painted 6 times in one day. Also, St. Patricks week is big around here, since he is the patron saint of engineers. The science building on campus is actually a fusion of two buildings, so it has become a monstrosity of architecture, with several staircases leading to nowhere.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Perfect for people who are antisocial, not really looking to date, more focused on a future career instead of a fun college lifestyle. If this doesn't exactly fit you, you'll still survive, and probably find people like you.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are tons of clubs around campus that host events for the students, and try to make life around here better and more fun. There is something for almost everyone, plus you can create your own organization if none of them fit you.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Pretty good guys and girls, not like the stereotypical ones you see in the movies.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I feel completely safe walking by myself on campus at 3 in the morning.
