Lawrence Technological University

I have considered writing a review for LTU for awhile now. Mostly because I am a bitter Alumni. As tasteless as it is to write a review on Unilocal for a university I decided that if i can steer anyone away from going here its worth it.
The best thing I can say about LTU is I did have a job lined up the day after i graduated but the university had nothing to do with that. Honestly this place is a overpriced night school. Good luck getting classes before 3:30pm after freshman year. They pride themselves on the fact that a lot of their professors work in the industry. Which is true but that also means your professors are too busy working to teach a class. They don’t have reasonable office hours. Their horrible syllabus haven’t changed since 1988 (i know because i saw the date on them). There are exceptions to this but you get the point. This school is still riding on their good representation they built in the late 80s and early 90s. Trust me that is over. Many of their classes do not offer the material expected from a class. For example i took a differential equations class and didnt learn laplace transforms! Or I took a program class and didn’t learn any programming language. And don’t even get me started on fluids. Lawrence Tech doesn’t embrace education instead it pushed you through the motions to get you a degree.
Something what parents don’t typically think about or approve of when picking a school is the «college experience» factor. I almost think its a selling point that LTU will offer you ZERO «college experience.» So if you want to spend your last years of your youth hanging out with a hand full of dorky dudes talking about cars and video games (and dont get me wrong that’s fun sometimes) than this is your place. But trust me that you will have more then enough time doing that once you graduate.
Honestly my biggest regret in life is not spending more time thinking out what university i should go to. For less money i could have gone to UofM or Wisconsin and got a better education, been provided more opportunities in a career, and had a better «college experience.»
Oh by the way when i graduated my total cost was something like $ 125K without housing and i am sure its gone up the dramatically in the last 5 years.
