§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $16k/yr for a shot at a $37k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

If you get in

11,344 undergrads. Medium. Clubs matter for finding your people.

Where you live

Suburban — a short drive to the nearest city, greener but still connected.
