Kangaroos?

Rating: 5/5 (93 ratings)
Introduction
Ok. There are good things and bad about every school, so I will take time to tell you some of both.

Campus Life and Social Life
Social life here is average i suppose. Nothing special. Our sports teams suck and have no home support. There was 1 guy in the stands at one of the football games. Yep, just one. I wouldnt want to win either if my only supporter was the homeless guy who slept there the night before. There are some weird events that take place occasionaly. Like at the student union a few months ago there was a "rootbeer kegger". Ya. Lame. No one went.

Academics
The academics are pretty good. There are some great teachers here that you can realy learn from and that will help you and work with you. There are a few bad ones too, ones that can put you to sleep in a matter of minutes by their monotone voice and suprisingly dark and boring classrooms. But then again i question my own sanity by wondering why I took Human Evolution at 7:00 in the morning... TA's, from my experiance mean well, but are realy clueless.
The Workload? Ha, what work load, its like being a freshman at high school all over again.

Student Body
There is a lot of diversity here. You can find skaters, preps, blacks, whites, whatever. The people are into every thing. People from every walk of life come here, because U of A don't care if you are smart or if you can't spell your name without sounding out... If you have money(loans) they will accept you.

In Closing...
So, thats my review. Its a decent school, but it gets cold in the winter and the buildings create an artificial wind tunnel, so that sucks. Also, our mascot is a Kangaroo called Zippy. I don't understand why. Kangaroos? In Ohio? No, I don't think so. Any way, hope to see you here.
