Kettering University — Attraction in Flint

An excellent place to learn most any kind of engineering or science; their mechanical and industrial engineering programs are especially good, consistently performing at a national top-ten level (often clinching the #1 spot, in the case of IE!). They also teach business; while this major is snickered at by people studying other majors here, I hear that the business program is actually quite good as well.

While some of the facilities are dated, the majority are top-notch; seeing the wave of improvements that have washed over the campus since President McMahan took office, I have every confidence that this will continue to improve as time goes by.

The three-month school/work rotation schedule is grueling, but worth it in my opinion; if you can handle the breakneck pace (and the hefty price of tuition) here, then you will be exceedingly well equipped to enter the workforce (earning quite the pretty penny)...

I applied and got accepted into an online double masters program. One of the biggest mistakes in my life. I finished the first masters and didn't even think about going for the second. In fact I already knew what a big mistake it was when I was halfway, but I couldn't just lose the already invested money. The biggest disadvantage is the fact that no other university will accept you if you want to leave Kettering. Their credits are just worthless. The way they treat the online students is something out of a bad movie. Lots of egomaniac professors who grade you based on their own grading criteria (which they do not share) and if you do not agree practically there is no one to complain to because no one cares. In other words you pay them close to 50 grand and they do with you whatever they want for that money. Overpriced and subpar. I don't understand how they got here...

I cannot recommend KU. It is extremely overpriced, the reputation is deteriorating, and the experience is broadly awful. The culture is dangerous due to geographic isolation and a dramatic gender disparity. Academically, professors are famously underpaid and I suspect the admin is as well. There is little coherence in intensity between courses and professors in those courses. In COMMS 301 we were given grammar worksheets to practice comma placement made for 6th graders. A few professors were known creeps, a couple frats are known hazards, and the only good thing about it is the fact that you're working half the year off campus. Find another institution that...
