haha, ya that probably exactly how i am gonna turn out. I don't like all the math too much so there might be a problem there, i figure i have two year of college to really decide what i want to do exactly.
I don't want to limit the options to just engineering schools, i want to hear about what everyone has done.

Whitiey, i live about 3 hours from PSU and am really looking into going there. Is it really that bad?

I wouldn't go to school for a shitty education, that's just shitty. If you are going to spend your time and money on an education, go get some of quality. Even if you decide you don't want it after you graduate or what not, at least you didn't get some half *** work for your money. It's like paying full price for a car that's a theft recovery. It may run, it may drive, but it's also missing the seats, doors, trunk... etc.

---- college, it's too hard, I got a 65 on a test I thought I did good on, 65 is not good.

I think it would have been easier for me to go out of town to go to school since insted of studying I just get on hmt all day and work on my car. If I lose my scholarship this semester I'll really have to bust *** because I'm not going to drop out of college with loans and ---- to pay off.

At a big 10 school like PSU the bigger the schools the shittier. Which is better, a class with 30 kids or a lecture hall with 350+ kids in it? Even the tests are bullshit cause the complicated math problems which are 50 pages long are multiple choice questions. This means if you ---- up on one of these 50 steps you get the whole problems wrong. The classes are too big to have people grade them and give partial credit. Also, at smaller campuses the professors actually know you and will give you extra points at the end if they know you tried. At big schools they don't know or care who you are.


At big schools like PSU your not a person, your a number. People feel like sheep and this is why there are soo many ------- riots up here.




The worst is the week before finals cause all you do is question why the ---- your putting yourself through all this bullshit and if its actually worth it. Every engineering student talks about going to a tech school cause its soo much nicer.


Bottom line, if you want to go for engineering you better be serious about it and ------- dedicated cause if you don't really want it, you won't make it a semester.

Get ready for some hardcore *** raping. Math is everything. And if you want to get your enginnering degree done within 5 years, you gotta know it from the start. I transfered into engineering from another school and I'm soo far behind I'm fucked. I'm not graduating till 2007 cause of it and I'm 22 right now.

Well put. I just studied 4 days straight for my fisrt of the FOUR exams in my CCJ 2020 class. I took the exam about an hour ago and im pretty confident I blew it. It is a game of failing people around here. Weed out the "numbers"

here at lake superior state, we're one of the smallest universities in the U.S., yet have one of the top engineering programs. we have equipment available to our undergrads that only master programs at other colleges get to use. We have stuff that places like Berkeley and Michigan use for their post graduate studies, and we offer it to undergrads. Plus, it's pretty laid back, and extremely cheap to go here.

boy was that a plug......

Reddy

isn't it funny how every school is a top engineering school? Seriously about every school I've ever heard of people say thats a top engineering school.



And speaking of "weeding people out" The one manditory calc class was taught by the "math ****" He would literally make girls cry in that class. He wouldn't take attendance but if you ratted out your friends he would give you bonus points. He would make the tests and say "Man, you guys are really in for it this Friday" The drop rate of the class was 80%

---- calc.

I studied 4 months straight and got away with a C. And that was when i had time to study. I only took 8 hours that semester.

i agree with that...i went to ball state university last year in indiana for architecture. some of the hardest ---- in the work. all my classes had about 250 kids and are multiple choice and we take em online. ------- sucked *****. my architecutre classes were good cause theere were less kids and more one one with the teachers in the labs etc. im taking a semester off and jsut taking a couple classes at sacred heart here in fairfield then going back there full time next semester. good luck
