<p>Taxi113,</p>
<p>As an engineering student at U of I I find most of what you say to be inaccurate. You are generalizing all the points you make through the experiences of a few of your friends. You say you haven’t even started college, I think you lack any experience to be commenting on the negatives of an Institution with over 40,000 students based on what a select few friends of yours have shared with you. Perhaps they are the ones who segregate themselves from other students. </p>
<p>I do take offense to the statement you make about engineering students being “pretty much” focused on academics. Engineering students are as socially active as any other group of students on campus. </p>
<p>Perhaps I do not take well to criticism or its just that the criticism is baseless. Either way, I do not plan on writing any more and you are wrong.</p>
