What impressed you negatively?

Students seemed to just be coasting by and not caring for the school. The students didn't like how the school responded to the recent student suicide. Out of the six students I spoke to, all six said they don't go to lectures and just watch classes at 2x speed at home. Well, then who even goes to class and are the teachers that boring?? They all complained about the cold except a milwaukee local. The tour guide said many students don't go to the gym on campus. Instead, they pay for off campus gym facility. Extreme lack of ethnic diversity compared to the city. Very very expensive and little scholarship.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Kern institute at MCW
