This is the university I am currently attending. First off, there are a lot of Polytechnic students who hate this school. It is not the most entertaining university one can attend. In fact, there really isn't much to do there. So if you're looking for a party school, this is wrong place to be.
Education wise, I would say is somewhat good. The rigorous math program here at Polytechnic usually filters out the students who don't belong here. I came to this school knowing 30 students, now I only see around 8 from my entering class. A lot have left due to academic problems, financial problems, and disgust for the school.
The administration for this school is bad, really bad. The president of the university is useless and incompetent. The tuition is raised yearly by 3%-6% and students are usually bombarded with loans the moment they graduate. What's worse about the tuition raises is that they have the nerve to offer a "contract" for students to sign that will charge them a higher price for tuition, but at a fixed price for their entire duration at the school. That is just their way of admitting that the tuition WILL be raised yearly and making themselves seem like the good guys by offering this "contract". That, to me, is what makes me hate this school. But with that said, they are very generous when it comes to financial aid.
Overall, I would only recommend Polytechnic University to someone if they are looking to learn and willing to stand a few vain busting administration problems.
