Football school looked fun on tv good scholarships are given big Greek life presence on campus a plethora of options for majors and minors. Research and shadowing opportunities were plentiful. A huge quad and all the buildings are in walking distance of each other.

Course Curriculum

8

I think there could be more options for classes on such a big campus with a lot of professors there are definitely more course offerings to be given. I do like how many minors are offered and I wish I explored all the different ones.

Exams

I took the SAT and ACT to get into college and then during school I took the Mcat and the Nelson Denny reading comprehension test.

Placement

Going into the medical field I will not be getting a job right after college. Getting a job with the university is also hard and they rarely check the job site. It's easier to get a job with them if you already have one.

Internship

They do not provide internships for people you have to find them yourself. People can get them but you need to mostly apply on your own I know smaller schools are more active in helping their students get internships

Fees

You have to pay lab fees honors college fees arts and science fees or whatever college you are in. You also have to pay for graduation and parking tickets here are ridiculous 50 dollars billed to your student bill I know other schools will only give out 5 dollar ones.

Examination Structure

Every exam is different based on majors and teachers most of mine are multiple choice but some teachers decide to do short answers and fill in the blanks which are very annoying in my opinion because biology has so many terms.

Faculty

9

I think some of the faculty is so amazing and helpful while some of the advisors can be most so helpful at times. I had one biology teacher who was amazing and helped me with everything I needed and she was an amazing professor.
