- Weather conditions get really harsh during winters with extreme snow and wind. Which sometimes adds a lot especially for people or students like me who come from a country like India where weather conditions are not so extreme but it's excuse the summers are really warm but the winters are super cold with a lot of snow.
Required Exams for Admission
Overall my experience was one of the best periods and I made many friends. The winters were really tough, summer were really fun but mostly quiet due to holidays but overall it is a remembering memory.

Faculty
So I think I have had the best experience with two of my classes one of them was mean six Sigma where in my professor was Gary lapointe he also taught me project management and the exposure I received during the course wherein we were also given an opportunity to work with an organization while pursuing the course was a very nice practical experience that I received also the course with Anna chernobbai which was a data analysis and decision making course I was made really well was with Excel which is used in day-to-day operations for large organizations.
