Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
The school sucks, plain and simple. The student body is incredibly homogenous, consisting overwhelmingly of wealthy white Irish and Italian business majors from the Northeast. They wear preppy clothes, listen to Dave Mathews, go fake tanning, drink Natty Light, and make little attempt to hide their disdain for anybody who isn't exactly like them. Most of them aren't very bright, and the university doesn't demand a whole lot of them, especially the business school (after all, those are the students who go on to be big donors). The classes could easily be high school classes, and the faculty, with a few wonderfully refreshing exceptions, doesn't seem bothered by it. The university itself is stunningly indifferent towards the student body. It imposes unusually high fees for just about everything and wastes no opportunity to squeeze more money out of students for even the mildest disciplinary infraction. The disciplinary system in general is rife with bullshit. One wonderful trick they pulled last year was to put flyers up around campus promising that intoxicated students who checked themselves into the health center would face no punishment. Then when they did end up punishing students who did just that, they turned around and denied having put up the flyers in the first place. Any dealings with the university should be conducted with the same skepticism one employs with emails from the king of Nigeria asking for your bank account. The bottom line--if you want to spend four years going to the same party full of plastic prep-school dickheads and fake-tanned Long Island princesses, and have a thoroughly mediocre education to show for it, this is the college for you.
