After taking both undergrad and grad classes at SU, I have discovered a noticeable difference in rigor.

I am not saying that no work is required, since I am still working on my projects before May. However I really feel like my old school was alot more demanding.

Jokes aside, have any of you directly experienced classes at SU.

Then my suggestion is to get out as quickly as you can. If it's not challenging you, it's only holding you back.

Transfer to Georgia Tech, Cal Tech, or M.I.T. You'll thank me later.

I am not a prideful person at all, but honestly I feel just as capable as most of the engineer graduates here and I have a Physics BS.

You have a B.S. in Physics? Wow. I didn't know that.

Where did you go to undergrad?

So many jokes to make, but not enough unbanned alters to make them with.

No, but in my various academic history I have found that is usually the prof more than the school that sets the demanding level etc.

I agree with this. This is why I am confused.

The difficulty at LaTech for the engineering program could be based on the professor, in which case I'm learning at the standard pace.

I can't tell if your being sarcastic.

I went to LA Tech for my BS Physics

And you're concerned that because your undergraduate work is in a somewhat unrelated field, the graduate program should be more challenging? You're worried that you might not be getting the proper training at Southern University?

Maybe you should contact the alumni office and ask them to put you in touch with recent, successful alumni.

And, no, this is honestly the first time I've seen this discussed.

Why do you start this thread once a week? You're either the most socially awkward person ever or the best subtle troll on this board.

You're just a Slavic ruler of Southern Engineering. That's why it's so easy for you.

I find that offensive. Please rephrase. Respect Southern's HCBU status.

You are ate up with your insecurity about attending a school that has the perceived academic prestige of a trailer park preschool. You should do yourself a favor and just accept that a lot are not going to respect your degree or transfer to somewhere that most will. It sounds like it's taking a serious toll on your psyche.

Are you saying that the classes at SU are not challenging? SHOCKER!

No, but I have experienced the capabilities of several degreed graduates from there and it is sad.

I am confident that I will be a good engineer. All I am saying is that I recognize that SU does not have the same rigor as La Tech. Nothing more or less.
