I received a Full scholarship and it's close to home. Also, they gave me a laptop, money to travel abroad, and money for textbooks. Also, they offered a large range of majors and the college has a good reputation.

Course Curriculum

7

I'm a fan of it mostly but it's a bit too heavy on the sciences. In terms of my major curriculum, I do wish it was a bit more Rigorous with more options to study nonwestern history but as a whole, I'm a fan!

Exams

I took the SAT and I got 1420. I'm not sure what a university level exam is but my GPA is a 3.9.

Placement

4

There aren't any. There are a career center and occasional career fairs but that's it. Macaulay does have better job placement/opportunities, but that just means they have a slightly better career fair.

Internship

Lol no they do not. All my internships I had to practically fight my college to do. It took me three months to wrangle credits for one of my internships and then they just made me do an independent study with it so I was doing 6 credits worth of work and only getting 3!

Events

3

We're a commuter school so we don't really celebrate events. We do have off for Lincoln's birthday which is pretty weird but besides that, we don't really do the whole celebrate thing. Unless you mean like Columbus Day Which we have off for.

Fees

There is a $375 student activity fee, and classes sometimes require expensive textbooks and I pay for parking which is like $275 a year.

Scholarship

Yes, I have a full-tuition merit scholarship which I received when I was accepted into the Macaulay program. I still have to fill out fades though.

Examination Structure

I am a history major so I can't really speak to the exam structure given that most of my graded assignments are papers. The few classes I have taken that have exams I would say there is no unified structure; the professors just test what they want.

Faculty

10

The faculty at my college is absolutely golden. The one thing I will say is that they really need to pay the adjuncts a living wage.

Hostel

4

I live at home and commute. That's what about ninety-six percent of the students do at my school-some student live in apartments nearby but that's really it. My commute is 40 minutes each way and it saves me a ton of money.
