I'll be honest. I'm sitting here in MANO, pretty bored and unable (more like not wanting to) to start readings for my classes. So I googled review products free college. I hate that most product reviewing is aimed towards moms. Just cause I'm not a mom yet doesn't mean I don't know how to test stuff out. And trust me, I'm really good at the testing durability point in the review. My computer can account to this. Anyways, I noticed a website call
CollegePrower.com show up. I had no clue what it was, but it sounded interesting. So of course, I clicked it. I entered Wayne State University to the search box and tada stats and reviews of my beloved (lol) college showed up. I found the best and worst parts the most interesting:
Worst Of
Lowest Grades
- C Guys - This I can attest to. Guys here are kinda creepy.
- C Parking - If you read my last post you'll understand why I agree
- C Transportation
1
Weather has a mind of its own. - This I think is unfair. Its Michigan weather, not WSU weather or Detroit weather. Which means all MI colleges/universities better have this one.
2
Parking is terrible without a pass. - again, read my last post.
3
Homeless sometimes gather around the student center when the police are not watching. - This makes me laugh for one reason "when the police are not watching" AKA NEVER.
4
In the winter, the maintenance crew isn't always up before first classes at 7/8 am and the sidewalks may be snow covered.
5
Dorm prices
6
Off campus housing at reasonable prices - why is this a bad thing? I don't understand
7
Reputation isn't as high as other schools. - This I don't believe. We have a pretty good rep.
8
Some departments have instructors that don't speak English very well. - 2 words: MATH PROFESSORS. I stopped going to class after the third week because I only understood about 10th of what my asian prof said.
9
Some lab equipment is older.
10
Changing majors can be difficult if you don't have all of the necessary paperwork.
This is the stuff in the best section:
Best Of
Highest Grades
- A- Diversity - This makes me laugh. The school is right in the middle of a large African-American populated city, next to a large population of Arabic-Americans and then surrounded by middle class white people. DUH ITS GOING TO BE DIVERSE.
- B+ Drug Safety
- B+ Nightlife
1
Faculty/staff members are amazing and very willing to help students - This I agree with. I haven't had a bad teacher when it comes willingness to help students. Everyone seems to love their job.
2
Range of diversity
3
Private bathrooms in the dorms
4
The dining hall actually has good food.
5
Classes are centrally located. - This I love too. Plus if you are taking mostly major related classes, there is a good chance that they will all be in the same building.
6
Broad range of majors - while you can't major in underwater basket weaving or Klingon, there is probably a major close.
7
There is always something to do in Detroit.
8
Honors students get free passes to museums.
9
Discounted sporting events tickets - This is true. But it is usually very little off, or like spending $20 more than normal price and get a free hotdog and shuttle!
10
There are so many opportunities to improve your knowledge and resume! - I feel like this one is a "we don't have ten good things to say so lets bullshit something."
If you are a college student, I recommend checking out your school on here. Its fun to laugh at everything. Plus, a big plus actually, it will allow you to procrastinate about 10 more minutes from doing your required readings.
Nice blog!! thanks for this blog!
