Business and Engineering are limited enrollment programs (LEPs). As you expect at many colleges.

Is your kid currently there or graduated in the last 4 years?

Attended for undergrad, or grad? What program, college and major?

Outcome after graduating if they already graduated?


Constant construction on/around campus.



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


Dorms

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?
