After being graduated for 7 years I feel confident that this institution has quite literally nothing to offer anyone. Tossing aside the fact that if you are currently young your degree will be totally worthless (guaranteed) to any prospective employer due to your lack of experience, this institution itself let me down at every stage of my schooling process. This began with my advisor for the entire science department stating on day one that there was no possible way to finish a bachelors of science in just... Read More 4 years. So she refused to help me schedule and i graduated in the standard time my researching and making sure i would meet my degree requirements myself with no help offered from any advisors. This preceded substandard slightly outdated education that quite literally didnt teach me anything i couldnt have learned in 5 minutes in the field or from any beginners youtube videos. The only possibly helpful courses were in math, which surprisingly is suggested to take those at OTC because MSU staff in those departments are notoriously bad. To put some final nails in this coffin there is the fact that nobody was able to get me placed in any even mediocre position in my field and the only opportunity i got was from begging one of the staff members to interview me for some type of position which ended up being 8$ an hour to work in the middle of nowhere in kansas counting wheat but only for three months of employment. So of course I declined that humiliating offer. Do yourself a favor and just spend your time working on an application for the most entry level job in your field and only go to school if your employer demands a degree.

The professors never respond, won’t show to meetings, do not give appropriate information, I felt infantilized by many professors, asked if I want a grandpa by a male professor who re-enacted an abuse I wrote about in a paper. I’m not sure who to hold accountable to show up and do their job or to treat people like human beings, and to take concerns seriously instead of continuing to be non... Read More responsive or to ask students to not discuss the experience. Students spend a lot of money to learn but often times there’s still barriers inside the classroom and if their advisor or professors are not responsive they’re stuck for the time being and can’t schedule for classes or move forward with school or work. To know that people informed of mental health who are leaders in the community use their knowledge to re-enact abuse, lie, gaslight, and then infantilize students in a group setting so as to set the stage of how other students should treat them or to get out of their work was a scary experience which left me feeling like there are double standards and as if an entire department doesnt even need to worry about doing wrong or not showing up and lying as long as they pick students whom they can infantilize and confuse.
