The website of this college makes me not nostalgic for my college days. It really doesn't seem like my kind of place, but in its favor, it places something like 53rd in the top 176 colleges of its class according to some college survey, according to them. Also in its favor, when you check out their total room and board it only comes out to about $14,000, which is less than half what most small colleges will run you nowadays. But maybe it shouldn't be compared with those liberal arts colleges, its really not quite the same -- my college didn't offer nursing classes for instance, and this one doesn't offer Multicultural or, this is a new one i've been hearing about, Fat Studies. Also the student profiles they put up there are, well, couldn't they have found more attractive students? It's just marketing, but if this college doesn't sell itself so well, then is that supposed to inspire me with confidence about what it will do for me as a potential student?
One thing they do for their students is guarantee them they will get a position in their chosen field within 6 years or else they will give them an internship in it. But if after 6 years of trying all you can get is an internship, that's pretty sad. The idea is depressing, I'm glad my 20s are in the past.
