If you are looking to return to school and rebound, scoring only in excellence... Just stop and look in the mirror while reading this to yourself in a monotone voice, and drop the act.
1. I'm not going to school to become a better me, I'm becoming financially stable. I dont want to be broke and or homeless.
2. I'm not going to try and accomplish any projects or monumental research studies with the aid of this institution.(if you are jus looking through a telescope and not calculating paralax of a distant solar system you discovered the other night before, go for it ... otherwise shut your mouth. They may steal your information and take credit for your work, misappropriating any grant the institution recieves, is normal for the staff. Just to get back to the whatever it is they do up there)
3. I'm not looking for a social outlet.(you can loose your life, watch out.)
4. I'm going here to make more than 50,000 a year one day, nothing more, anything else may cost me THE REST OF MY EDUCATION.
5. I can find a job somewhere else, this shady place may haunt my resume the rest of my life.
This institution has the ability to be a great, yet the faculty is biased against a lot, and those biases change individually quite often. Their are people who really care, who are facuilty, but that does not out weigh the childishness. Recently new lights were put in, yet its obvious the building has a foundation issue, all the floors continue to shift and buckle... Rather than build a better environment they allow students they favor to behave as if high school bullies, yet now they have the power of an institution behind them, and are loose in society.
Again its not worth the risk to try and change Illinois and its corruption or add something at this phase, and if it is to you, be willing to suffer the consequences, regardless of your intentions or actions.
You have been informed, and warned....!!! This one is serious. read more
