The University isn't THAT bad. It is how YOU make of it - just like almost everything else in life! The social life does not come to you, YOU must take the effort to find THEM. The people that go home every weekend are usually the ones that complain that there is nothing to do on campus. Does anyone see the paradox?

Now that's been said and done… I will say this - the food sucks and the dorms are a mess. All the healthy food are too expensive and will drain your points quickly. It does not particularly suit my health-conscious lifestyle. In addition the dorms are riddled with bugs and way too small for the number of people alloted per room.

The administration can be a pain to deal with. Some of them don't know what the hell they are doing most of the time. If that's not the case, they will send you back and forth, only to find out that steps 3,4, and 9 are totally unnecessary. It's like any bureaucracy

Other that that, I've met some AMAZING professors here. That actually speak okay English. And can teach well! And aren't arrogant pricks. Yes, there are those that are exactly the opposite of what I described. I guess I was lucky
