I'll preface my comment with an apology for being offensive but your response to lago-m-orph below got me heated a tad and may have unleashed some suppressed frustration. Your comment perfectly illustrates what I hated most about the school: high volume of douche-tools graduate from here and can still barely manage to string a written sentence together in proper English. Granted you likely wrote this while you were drunk and this epidemic is probably true with most not-top colleges these days and won't be very pertinent anyway once the machine overlords render human intelligence as obsolete as it is rare. I couldn't tell you were "just asking" by that question mark but I guess I'll just answer. Fall 2014 = 33,723 enrolled - 6,203 living on campus. I would wager that the majority of their tuition money comes from off-campus students despite the self-proclaimed "not a commuter school anymore!". You seem like someone who didn't commute much but, for those who do, it is hell during peak traffic hours and I won't even get into how dismal the parking can be. You definitely weren't "board" but you probably got bored in class and whipped out your laptop to browse facebook while your heavily accented professor droned on to deaf ears before passing out a comprehensive studyguide / cheatsheet to desperately get their disaffected majority of students to scribble something coherent down on the exam to prove they had been taught university level material before curving it up 50%. Please don't ever use the word "literally" again... it's "you're" not "your"...and "upmost" isn't a word but utmost is. Lot of bad English at this establishment, so I just hope to Joseph that it was your second language like virtually half of the students and staff.

Abundance of dunces aside, the grad-school is definitely the most convenient option for the large population of government employees in the area, the expensive new buildings are really nice and the athletic centers are a little upscale. I'm not saying the education material is sub-par or that you won't have fun here at the school; everyone is nice in that delightfully vapid new-age suburban way, but the "biggest parties" you might see may feel a little bit lame with a police station two minutes away from the neighborhoods sparsely populated by renting college students and mostly filled with families who are set to automatic when it comes to complaining about noise. The criminal justice school training police cadets is the cherry on top by having the uptight dick-wads ride around campus on bikes to make sure there's no fun or unsanctioned loitering going on. Since you wanted an explanation from a disgruntled patriot.
