**Comment:

Although the professors were wonderful lecturers, the examinations were below what I feel like is the college level. For one of my classes we were given a test review of exactly what would be on the exam. I do not know if my own university is particularly difficult or if others are just easier, but I felt like the level of difficulty was more appropriate for high school students than university students.
