    Sophomore : Fairfield has a great sense of community within the student body. Everyone is friendly, always showing school spirit by wearing Fairfield merchandise, and overall very welcoming. With the exception of not clicking with a teacher every now and again, I've had a great experience in the classroom. Most teachers are helpful, open to answering questions, and are always available during office hours. I've been able to find clubs and activities around campus I'm passionate about which helped me make even more friends. As for the administration at Fairfield, I can't say they're great. It seems like students/guardians get many different responses from different departments for one question. Academic Advising at Fairfield should be much better than it is and registration is a nightmare that needs to be solved.

    Sophomore : Missouri S&T is a great school if you're looking for a high quality, affordable engineering degree. The course work is applicable and at times rigorous, but will prepare you for the career path of your choosing. The professors in many cases have been in the private sector for several years which influences the way the classes are taught and in turn imparting more "real world" knowledge. Where the school really shines is the plethora of activities, clubs, research projects, and design teams. These outside-the-classroom activities are where the rubber meets the pavement, while learning useful "real world" industry knowledge, connections are also forged with those already well into their careers, thus providing opportunities for employment after graduation.

    All-in-all Missouri S&T is a great school, highly recommended.
