Any other information you want to share?

"Its in a terrible area, several peoples cars got broken into. The weather is just as bad as it gets (think Seattle plus 10X more snow) and generally downtown stinks. If this was a great school I'd say who cares but it's a mediocre school in a less than mediocre place." | Report Response
