If you're not an engineer or a nurse there are other places you should look into. Lots of focus on getting money from the students and the state but not enough focus on learning. Lots of red tape, programs for non-engineering/nursing/law students underfunded and thrown to the wayside. Best example is the new dorms which have gone up in no time (the construction of which having severely limited parking on campus by eliminating the largest lots) while the Liberal Arts building is from the 70s and the roof leaks. Stairs and walkways are falling apart and exposed rusty rebar can be seen all around campus, those with physical disabilities often have trouble navigating the school. There are numerous other safety concerns, all of which I shall not list here. Besides that, the campus is grey and depressing. All the buildings are uniformly concrete with few windows, and little color is to be seen in any of the classrooms or indeed anywhere at all on campus. Wish they would focus on students more, but this place really is a cash grab and if you're thinking of coming here for anything besides the mentioned fields, I would suggest expanding your search elsewhere.
