I thought the campus was really beautiful. Additionally, it was very close to my family while still being out of the city. I enjoyed the academic standing the school holds. Additionally, I had heard good things about the political science program.

Course Curriculum

I really enjoy the course curriculum. I believe it challenges me and helps me be a better student. I enjoy the readings, as well as the assignments that are within the course curriculum. The courses are relevant to the program.

Fees

I'm not too sure about what the fee structure is - I just pay it. I know a lot of my tuition goes to paying subsidies for clubs, but this doesn't bother me too much. It was definitely more expensive in the first year when I was paying for residence and a mandatory meal plan.

Examination Structure

I would just describe it as alright. There are some allowances that can be made if you are given a very poor schedule. However, there are other times when you still have a very high-stress schedule, but you aren't given accommodations. Last winter I wrote five exams in four days.

Faculty

8

I think they are very smart and well-informed. Useful, for the most part. Some of them are pretty low-quality in terms of their ability to convey the main points, but for the most part, very good.
