Big engineering school and Big Ten Football. Two things you must know. All liberals and artists, sorry to say it, but search elsewhere. In the heart of the Midwest the sciences are their specialty and challenging "weed out" courses are pretty standard and keep students arduously studying. However, the academics are easily matched by crazy drinking charades and intense school spirit for every home game. Students stick around on weekends and campus life is always thriving so the community here is an inevitably strong one that students love being part of.
