Detailed Ratings

Academics 5

The class size are usually fairly small. Even lecture size classes aren't huge. The professors are always accessible by email, and many are on campus at least a few days a week. The work load varies depending on your major, but obviously it is up to you how much effort you want to put into your classes. The Science program is probably the most intense, and yet it is still manageable. Most of the professors are very knowledgable and helpful. I was very happy with most of my teachers. We also get the opportunity to evaluate them at the end of every semester, and I know first hand that the evaluations can make a huge difference in whether or not a professor is allowed to keep teaching.
