How is the campus life and the academics for undergrads, especially engineering students. I looking to go here next year, but I am not quite sure.

I'm a U of A drop out.
Campus life was great, a lot of extra curriculars like student Radio and the poetry club kept me busy. Great food (I love the pizza right off campus, I think it was Grama Tony's or something like that.) However, I didn't like the fact that there were so many potheads and heavy drinkers.
Uh, MeCHA is pretty strong there. They put an idiot in charge a few years ago, and so much rests on the football team. They actually cut departments when football isn't going well. And there was administrative headaches with them getting my SocSec number wrong and the credits not coming in... The politics did my head in and that's why I left after only one semester.
But I had a great time when I was there. I was journalism, the academics for engineering were probably better (science guys seemed happier with their classes then those of us in humanities)
