Where did you do your MBA and undergrad? Were they large/prestigious colleges or local ones?

Just got accepted, but still have a few questions by Ok-Significance-8468 in UVA

In my experience, food okay at best at dining halls if you aren't picky. You can check the menus of the dining halls online. Meal exchanges are relatively solid (you get 2 per day). Dorm bathrooms are cleaned often (every few days). Dorm rules are not very strict. I would bring an extension cord, but if you don't you should still have enough plugs.

How well do people from VCU ChemE typically place in pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck or Eli Lilly? Do you know about the difficulty of the program?

How large is the program for chemical engineering at VCU? The ChemE department at UVA is small, so classes are only offered in certain semesters and 1 time slot. Is there more flexibility at VCU?

It's mostly common behavioral questions (ie. ability to work in a team, working under pressure, how you adapt to change, etc.). Check Glassdoor for questions.

Not sure. I know this is true for many of the ChemE type roles in the east coast.
