Student Ratings
David Cheng Alumnus - Grad Year 1996
The classes vary greatly in diversity and difficulty. The ability to take classes at the undergraduate level from the graduate schools is relatively limited. Professors are often famous and diffcult to get facetime with. The workload is what you want it to be. Class sizes vary by popularity, famous classes with famous professors tend to get pretty full and can get in to the hundreds for lectures.
