| Dumb thread. Do your own research. It's a good school with good outcomes for students. Whether it's right for your kid is subjective. |

Is the construction bad and stuffy? Not much of the school year is during air conditioning season. |

Constant construction on/around campus. |

Dorms range from godawful to good. Food options pretty good. Huge campus (too much for one DC, fine for another). Very nice students overall.
You have to make a concerted effort not to get lost in a sea of students, but excellent outcomes are very possible for the students that do. |

Is there a shuttle taking students around on campus? That big? Or is shuttle only to and from metro station? |

They haven't finished construction? What are they building now? They were working on a new CS building that's got to be finished by now |
