Overall: An average school overall. Academics wise, it would be really great if you really put yourself on top of it. Plus, social scene is not bad actually, especially if you join something to which you belong. But do not expect they will make extraordinary events.

Faculty: Mixed bag with professors. There are some who are great, vibrant and enthusiastic educators, whereas, most are just there to read off slides, full of indifference about actually teaching the students.

Overall: A good university on its own but doesn't provide anything special. Academic load may be hard but certainly feasible when you mobilize yourself. A social scene is not that bad if you are a member of the clubs or organizations.

Faculty: Both spirited and clever lecturers and those professors who appear to be bored.Do ratemyprofessor research. Grading is very demanding process. Teachers are very supportive and understanding.
