You're better off goingBusiness - Management and Administration
You're better off going to clown college than Clarkson University. I've been looking for a job in my field for 6 years. They offer no assistance whatsoever. Go to a public school and get an internship. You will make perhaps the biggest mistake of your life by choosing Clarkson.

Question
Since I have been at Clarkson University theAverageFinance
Since I have been at Clarkson University the business program is slowly losing the reputation it had, espcially in the finance and accounting major. I haven't had a professor within my major speak english in years. Which is fine except even in office hours they have a hard time explaining our work/exams because they have a small understanding on the topic. I also feel as thought all my accounting and finance classes are just review on the previous class before it, never going in depth. The school thinks accounting and finance is just taxes and everyone should take the CPA when in reality a lot of people in major want to branch out and try to new jobs in finance and accounting.Other than that once I got involved in Greek Life my social life was great and theres plenty of things to do if you look for them

Question
I have to memorize information and if IAverageBiology
I have to memorize information and if I do I can pass the exams. Did I learn anything? Not sure. Most professors test memory-based but at the end of the semester I can't really tell if I would be able to answer any question that asks understanding. Exam are easy, I got all A's except in one course where the professor was challenging, I got a B. I was angry, but when my mom asked me about genetics I could really carry out a conversation. I even recalled the Society of Genes, a book we read and enjoyed in that class. Hongay is tough but I learned and understood. Most classmates hate her because she's a hard grader and her exams really make you think. I can say her class was the only one I felt I learned something.
