[quote=Anonymous]It is an interesting place. Not your traditional campus feel. It is almost resort-feeling. Some of the buildings are brands new and awesome. Some are very 1960s/70s. There is also an art deco feel to some of it, particularly fine arts.

My ds is a freshman and generally enjoying himself but also in awe of the intense partying done by a segment of the student population. The club scene is big and people spend a lot of money. This is not the majority by any means, but maybe the most visible. Some aspiring and true influencers.

The classes are small. My ds likes his professors but not the math ones. The math department there is overall lacking.

I don't think the housing is a huge issue but maybe I had different expectations. The school was never meant for all kids to live on campus all 4 years. The "issue" might just be the way they choose who gets to be on campus and who doesn't after their freshman year. It is a lottery now for the first time so we will see.

The other 'issue' I have seen is that the advising leaves a lot to be desired.

I think kids tend to either love it there or hate it and leave. I do think it helps to have a lot of money to take advantage of certain things in the city but you don't need it. It has a good vibe overall. Academically it depends on your major. I wouldn't attend if you were into math or engineering, for example. [/quote]
