If you're serious about academics and/or getting a good job, don't go here.

+ Some great professors, particularly in the Biology Department
+ I'm in the minority, but I like the location.
+ You can usually find a nice, quiet spot in the library to get work done

- Whiny, entitled, lazy, stupid classmates. The majority of students here just want to scrape a C+/B- without cutting into their party schedule
- In your average 100-level class, maybe 1-in-5 students will do the assigned reading
- Anytime students have to do work outside of class time, they whine about the workload
- Lots of rude/unhelpful staff
- Maybe 5-10 people in each graduating class get what would objectively be called a "good outcome." Nobody ever gets into medical school, maybe 5 students in the last 30 years have gone to top law or business schools. Granted, if you want to go on to get a MA in Gender Studies from the University of Southern Idaho, you could do worse.

The videos and flyers they post for the graduating class say it all. Sure, lots of people go to grad school, but most of them are going to unranked social science programs that give them virtually no chance at a good job. A couple are getting good jobs with good companies, but the majority are either unemployed, or making $25-30K in some dead end job.

I have classmates who've succeeded since leaving here, but this school had nothing to do with it.
