I majored in engineering at UT, and kick myself for attending this dump. I look at what my friends…read moreexperienced in other engineering programs at other schools, and I now realize what a terrible education I received for all the money I shelled out. This place is all about extracting as much cash from you (and your relatives) while delivering as little of value as possible. There was no end to the hassles and headaches of UT. I lost track of the number of times the student self service system was down. Calling any UT office for help or answers is an exercise in futility, you won't get any help. Restrooms are filthy everywhere, I wouldn't take a piss in the sinks, let alone wash my hands in them. Parking is a nightmare, in the winter lots are rarely plowed sufficiently, you end up walking 1/2 mile just to get to class. Faculty are, at best, indifferent towards students, but usually hostile. The dean of my college (engineering) resigned after getting it on with a student. This place is so screwed up, don't even think about going here.

I had a horrible experience with the photo-chemical science PhD program at BGSU that I'd like warn…read morecurrent and prospective students to stay away from this program. I was offered admission without funding, which is not an arrange a reputable US PhD program will make and accept. The supervision style here relies on excessive micromanagement with low transparency on broad project idea and requirements in milestones like the qualification exam and graduation, tricking students into doing works beyond their degree and course requirements. The advisor demands "research productivity" in the 1st year in a US program without adequate training in basics and without any funding, and will leverage academic backing for that. I made clear in my application that I intended to pursue research in computational photo-chemistry, faculty attempted to redirect me into doing experiments; resisting that pressure provoked further threats and withdrawal of support. Faculties in the program use grades as bargaining counters in multiple occasions to "persuade" me to change advisors, obey their arrangement and not to file any complaint. The program coordinator told me he decided to assign me a "C" in a course, but no grade was officially posted for a month. Once I mentioned that I would exercise my student right to initiate a grade appeal, I immediately got an "A". I was also told that recommendation letters would be withheld should I sought to leave and reapply to a better program, effectively using students' future careers as leverage for forced unpaid labor. Some faculty members, including the advisor, are violating my student privacy right by leaking class activities and academic standing to third parties (like parents, professors and advisors in other institutions) without my written consent, and without ever being selected as my references. This, combination-- "I don't respect students' personal boundary" and "I want to avoid conflict", "I will not recommend you" and "I will informally and secretly leak you academic standing"--demonstrates a self-centered approach in which student welfare is disregarded whenever it inconveniences the advisor. When they give advises their main concern is at extracting as much free labor from the student as possible, not at serving the student's best educational interest. The program's website advertises a "safe, accepting, unprejudiced, and fair learning environment",which cannot be further away from the truth from my personal experience as the only Asian student. My academic standing stored there is definitely unsafe as it could be accessed and disclosed by faculty without my consent. I was the only one expected to work without financial support but with a good academic standing in the first year and was singled out when I questioned this disparity. The graduate coordinator specifically told me not to request for funding because I would "get paid 100k+/year after graduation," Students are micromanaged to do repetitive, grinding tasks disguised as "training" which are not meant to train students into independent researchers. In sharp contrast to the advertising, expressing contrasting scientific opinions is also met with accusations of distrust from the advisor and filing complaints will trigger retaliation by withdrawing academic backing. These practices are incompatible with fostering students' potential or providing equitable treatment, and they demonstrate systemic prejudice, intimidation, and retaliation--which further reinforces my opinion that the program is prejudiced, unsafe, unaccepting, and discriminatory. The implied underlying true "value" seems to be the maintenance of deception, manipulation and exploitation rather than the education and development of students. I strong advise against anyone to apply to or stay in this program that provides a discriminatory, coersive and toxic working environment to PhD students. If you have a high GPA and a better background, and don't want to be used as a lab-monkey, please kindly do yourself a favor and apply to somewhere else.

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO any one OF COLOR!!!!!! This school is racist. There is no…read moreperson of color on the administrative side. The teachers pick and choose who they want to pass, and it's not based off intelligence. Most teachers don't respond back to emails and they don't put grades in until a week before finals. This school does not care about their students! All they care about is money. On multiple occasions, I've tried to set up meetings with the president of the school to address my concerns and she completely ignored me. The only time I heard from her was when I was a month behind on payments. Also, they charge almost double the amount they advertise, just for all the classrooms to have an ant infestation, ceilings leak when it rains, and the bathrooms are always disgusting. Don't let me get started on the labs, everything we use is as old as dirt, most materials don't even function as they should. This place should be shut down. If I could rate negative stars I would!!!!!

As someone who graduated once before from a larger college, this campus is underwhelming in regards to amenities. It doesn't offer any on-campus restaurants, has a very small, unimpressive "rec center" and does not have a whole lot of activities going on. While it is a satellite campus, I have been to other satellite campuses and community colleges that offer much more for their students. With that aside, it's a decent school. The professors are more personable than at larger colleges and get to know you by name, as class sizes are much smaller. I have been a student here for prerequisites since Fall 2021 and have enjoyed my time here.

We are 100% certain that our son made the right choice in picking Adrian College over more than a…read moredozen other schools, including several in California where our son has lived his entire life. I grew up in Michigan but had never visited the Adrian area or knew anything specific about the college other than it was one of a bunch of small Michigan colleges with D3 athletics. We came across the school through an athletic recruiting service. Luckily we already had a trip planned to Michigan and decided to check it out since they were starting up a varsity men's volleyball program. We visited in September and were absolutely blown away by the academic and athletic resources at this institution. I went to MSU, so by comparison this is a very tiny school, but they have been investing tens of millions over the past decade. My understanding is that their president, Dr. Jeffrey Docking, was hired 10 years ago with a comprehensive plan to transform the school from surviving to thriving. It is obvious that his plan has succeeded. They continue to invest heavily in the student experience. After visiting our son knew this was the place for him. Other schools came knocking but he knew they couldn't beat what Adrian has to offer. Our experience with the coach, admissions office, financial aid, and education department have all been stellar. We would recommend any student-athlete check out Adrian College!
