Kettering University

Kettering is a hard school. If you're coming here, you should know that. It's not MSU, it's not parties 24/7. The people that come here and get the most out of their education are people that want to be here. Your experience in the co-op program is completely up to you, your co-op manager may try to persuade you for the best interest of the university, but ultimately you get what you put in. I've learned more in my two years here than most of high school, I feel this school truly prepares you for the real world, and yes, unfortunately, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. Kettering is not for the weak of heart, but it definitely worth the work. I feel more prepared than all of my friends that have attended different universities. You can choose to complain about every little detail like the broken tiles or lights around the buildings because the education you are getting is so much more and the university is consistently trying to make it a better place (they may have their own agenda behind it - like clout) but down the road, it's all for the students. I'm lazy asf, and Kettering kicks my ass everyday, but there is no place I would rather be. You find your lifelong friends here if you allow yourself to be vulnerable and be involved. Any dweeb who never goes out or joins clubs and who frowns upon greek affiliated people can say "the university sucks" & "don't come here" but maybe they should have tried to meet new people and get the most out of college instead of doing nothing and complaining about it.

Useful Schoolwork: A+, Campus Maintenance: D+

When I went to General Motors Institute it was considered by me as the best. Better than a full ride to any Big Ten School. The education was outstanding, the co op program was outstanding and tended to make you humble. Graduated with no debt. Had every opportunity to go as far as my talent and persistence would take me.
