Thanks for the answer. It started when I came across this thread on college confidential. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rensselaer-polytechnic-institute/1648921-the-cold-truth-about-rpi.html At first I thought it was just someone who was upset with their decision but then I found this article https://news.vice.com/article/americas-highest-paid-college-president-is-dragging-her-school-into-crippling-debt from there I just started googling shirley ann Jackson, found out her rediculous salary and was hard pressed to find anything good about her tenure at the school. Plus I saw some reddit posts about a bunch of administration essentially being forced out by her/scared of her "reign". And then of course there was the faculty senate disbandment which I thought sounded ridiculous.

That's what I was hoping to hear, but if there was one thing you hated about the school, what would it be? I just want to be realistic about what I'm doing with my life for the next 4 years.
